Descripción

A long cycle route starts here but of more interest to birdwatchers is the convenient c4-5 km circular walk through pine woods to a ridge and back down to the main track. The woodlands hold Mosquitero Papialbo and Herrerillo Capuchino, open areas have Escribano Montesino, Escribano Soteño and Alondra Totovía and the low scrub a variety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Curruca Zarcera, Curruca Cabecinegra and Curruca Rabilarga. As with all footpaths beside the A 381 this is a good location to look for raptors particularly in spring and autumn when Águila calzada, Milano Negro, Abejero Europeo and the odd Alimoche Común (plus Cigüeña Negra) pass through. Culebrera Europea (spring-autumn), Buitre Leonado , Gavilán Común and Busardo ratonero frequently appear but if you're lucky you may spot Águila perdicera or Azor Común here. During passage periods expect Abejaruco Europeo and pretty much any small passerine migrant.

Información extra

The tracks here provide a variety of 'pan handle' walks from 4 km upwards allowing you to tailor your walk to your individual requirements most of the walks are fairly easy but there are several steep sections. Look out for various orchid species and the local Portuguese Sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) which, unlike sundews in northern Europe, has attractive pale yellow flower making it easy to locate.
