Sierra de Espadán Natural Park

The second largest protected area in Valencia spans 31,180 hectares across mountains with sandstone formations, deep ravines, and cork oak forests.

Established in 1998, this natural park encompasses nineteen municipalities in Castellon province and preserves traditional Mediterranean agricultural landscapes.

Local communities within the park maintain cork harvesting traditions and produce regional specialties including honey, olive oil, and traditional medicinal plants.

The park interpretation center in Eslida provides guided tours, maps, and information about hiking trails suitable for different experience levels.

The park contains rare Triassic sandstone outcrops that create red-tinted landscapes and support the largest cork oak forest in Valencia region.
