Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park
8 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAfter the previous day's trip, it is time to enjoy one of the many walks offered by the SERRA DE ARACENA AND PICOS DE AROCHE NATURAL PARK. We will visit the castle of Aracena, a watchtower that allows us to enjoy beautiful views and observe the awakening of the first raptors. The Park is the second largest protected area in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The interest in visiting this park is justified by the richness of the landscapes. The meadows populated by holm oaks are replaced by cork oaks in some areas, while at higher altitudes oak and chestnut forests are frequent. In river beds such as the Múrtigas there are abundant large trees such as poplars, ash trees, willows and alders. This variety of forest provides an interesting wealth of fauna.- AccommodationsAccommodation - Barrancos - PortugalFood And DrinksLunchDinnerBreakfast

Parque De Natureza De Noudar

In the morning we visit the NATURAL PARK OF NOUDAR where there is still a vegetation cover close to what would be original, as if there had never been any human intervention. These are rich, rugged and difficult forests that still hold Noudar's greatest secret. The richness and diversity of this territory is the result of its geographical isolation.Perímetro Florestal da Herdade da Contenda
