The Surroundings of Rosarito Reservoir in Candeleda
The Tiétar valley
As a whole, the areas of Red
Natura 2000: Sierra de Gredos,
Valle del Tiétar and the Cerros
de Guisando, occupy 81% of
the area of the Tiétar valley
district. In the area around the
Rosarito marsh, there are hides
where you can watch different
birds like anatidae and cranes.
At the confluence with the
Tiétar gorge there is a chance
of seeing black storks, in danger of extinction. The Hiruelas
valley, the Pico mountain pass
and the Torozo peak are other
options; not forgetting the SPA
(Special Protection Area) at
Castañar de Casillas.
