Welcome !

Clique nas fotografias para ampliar

In this small thematic route it is possible to observe a rare habitat, dominated by the Pontic rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum subsp. baeticum). This plant community is of high conservation value due to its Laurissilva relict species that remained here as a result of the local microclimatic conditions.

During the route, it is possible to observe an enormous floristic treasure, including Common hollies, Cork oaks, Strawberry trees and the rare White lavender.
