Itinerary description
The Palancar Trail inside the Los Alconalis National Park is immersed in a lush pine forest, descending along a path parallel to a firewall at the height of the "Mirador del Palancar" waypoint. From this natural viewpoint, we have great panoramic views of the Charco Redondo Reservoir and the Sierra de Montecoche.
Starting from the Port of Valdespera, at the beginning of the route we see the reproduction of a Moorish house, a ferruginous fountain in whose pylon can be found salamander larvae, as well as an anthropomorphic tomb carved in the rock. Then you ascend through carrasco pinewood in the direction of some curious cave-houses.
The forest trail descends then to the shore of the reservoir where depending on the level of the water you can see a curious stone that recalls the semi-buried skull of a giant dinosaur. The return trail runs parallel to the shore between quejigos and cork oaks.
Depending on time of year Andalusian borricos who have their reservation here can be seen along with griffon vultures and eagles.
In the area of herrizas, when crossing the firewall from the cave-houses towards the trail there are numerous colonies of endemic carnivorous plants called flytraps.
