The life that inhabits the sierra

The Sierra de Lagunilla packs remarkable biodiversity into a small territory. Its position at the crossing point between two great biogeographic domains, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, generates a variety of habitats rarely found in such a compact space: damp riverside woodland, centuries-old oak and chestnut groves, pine forests, aromatic scrubland and Mediterranean-leaning hillsides. This richness supports a notable vertebrate fauna, with birds of prey playing a particularly prominent role, and flora adapted to living between two worlds at once.
