Dehesa Boyal de Puertollano

The Dehesa Boyal de Puertollano is a nature interpretation centre and botanical garden located on a large publicly accessible woodland area owned by the city. The site features various areas to explore, including cultivated gardens, forest paths, and information stations about the local plants and wildlife.

The centre was developed in the late 1990s to teach visitors about the nature and forests of the region. Its creation marked the start of a project to promote environmental awareness and protect local ecosystems and wildlife habitats.

The botanical garden displays plants that naturally grow in the Puertollano region, showing visitors species that are typical of the local landscape. You can see how these plants thrive in their natural setting and understand their role in the surrounding environment.

The centre is located outside the city and welcomes visitors throughout the year. The best conditions for exploring are during warmer months, and the grounds feature paths suitable for different fitness levels.

The centre operates a vegetable garden where children and visitors learn how to grow fruits and vegetables. This working garden demonstrates traditional growing methods and regional varieties that have been cultivated in the area for generations.
