Sierra de la Demanda
La Sierra de la Demanda has
two SPAs (Sierra de la Demanda and Sabinares del Arlanza),
both belonging to Mediterranean bio-geographic regions.
The interesting wetlands of
Atapuerca and Hacinas are
added to these.
Out of the birds found in the
Sierra de la Demanda there
are white storks, Montagu’s
harriers, Egyptian vultures, turtle
dove, Bonelli’s eagles, golden
eagles, Griffon vultures, peregrine falcons, eagle owls, shorttoed eagles, booted eagles,
black kites and many others.
The presence of hen harriers,
European honey buzzards and
Iberian grey partridges deserve
a mention because of the special protection they receive.
