Bosque del Tejedelo, Ancient yew forest in Requejo, Spain
The forest extends across 137 hectares at an altitude of 1,350 meters in the Sierra de Gamoneda, containing over one hundred centuries-old yew trees.
The forest preserves yew trees reaching eight meters in circumference and thirteen meters in height, with some specimens dating back a thousand years.
Local traditions recognize yew trees as sacred elements, forming an essential component of the natural and cultural identity of the Zamora region.
Two primary trails lead visitors through the forest: one path reaches Peñas del Veladero viewpoint while another connects to the largest Taxus baccata specimens.
The forest holds a collection of rare yew trees growing alongside oaks, ash trees, hazelnuts, holly, and willows, creating a diverse ecosystem.
