The Park that stretches across this region is a nature lover's paradise. Picture vast expanses of dehesas, dotted with majestic oak trees, as the backdrop for an economy centered around farming and forestry. Olive groves and riverside forests add to the charm of this unique landscape. Marvel at the sight of deer grazing and boars roaming freely. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of otters in the riverside forests. The abundant rainfall, thanks to the Sierra Morena blocking precipitation from the Atlantic, results in thriving farming activities. Hunting and fishing bring in tourists, while the high-quality olive oil production, honey-making, mushroom and herb gathering, and more, contribute to a vibrant local economy.
