We are in the heart of Extremadura, in the natural park of Monfrague. Protected since thirty years, it’s an isolated land, with wide spaces and a rich biodiversity. It is a dry, untamed region where the rural culture has contributed to protecting an extraordinary biodiversity.
These harsh hills, known to the Romans as the “mountains of crevices”, are home to one of the most impressive concentrations of birds of prey in Europe.
The storks are a sign of the authenticity of this land, which, thanks to its low population density, retains an atmosphere that has changed little over time. Caceres, better known as “the town of Storks”, has become famous for its unusual spring panorama. The sound of this bird’s beaks and the really big nests are a part of the center town, which has remained almost unchanged since the 15th century. It is so unique that it has been named an official UNESCO world Heritage site.
