The landscape of the area is typically “Manchego”;
with vast plains covered with oaks. In other parts of this
region, we find deep canyons shaped by the waters of small
streams during the passage of the years, having created
with time a great basin that eventually ends in the fertile
valley of the Tajo river.

|
In the area of the Tajo Basin there are multiple hiking
opportunities and trails, and wild life such as Golden Eagles,
Foxes, Great Bustards (lat. Otis tarda) etc. can be observed.
This area is also considered a rich hunting ground, abundant
with rabbits, hares etc.
