Description

Context Cabañeros National Park, located in Castilla-La Mancha, safeguards one of Spain’s best-preserved Mediterranean forests, spanning over 40,000 hectares of mixed woodland and open scrub. This diverse ecosystem supports iconic species such as the imperial eagle and red deer, visible at close range due to the park’s open landscapes and minimal human disturbance. The scent of flowering broom and wild rose drifts through the air on the breeze.

The Experience The guided photography tour begins in either Horcajo de los Montes or Retuerta del Bullaque, with an introduction to photographic techniques and ethical wildlife observation. You’ll walk on well-maintained trails, pausing at key vantage points like the Mirador de Valdeazores and the Puntal del Rostro to capture images of perched raptors and deer grazing in the open scrub. The rustle of leaves and distant bird calls accompany your journey.

For Whom Perfect for amateur and professional photographers interested in Mediterranean flora and fauna, with moderate mobility and experience in light hiking. Not suitable for visitors with limited mobility or those not interested in photography.

Local Context Nearby villages preserve rural traditions tied to the Mediterranean forest, where shepherds still practice transhumance and maintain traditional stone structures such as the Casa de Labradillo, adding cultural depth to the experience.
