Covalagua, Protected landscape in Palencia, Spain

The Covalagua protected area spans 2,860 hectares of mixed terrain, featuring limestone formations, beech forests, and oak woodlands in northern Spain.

The French Cave within Covalagua served as a final resting place for French soldiers during the Spanish War of Independence in the early 1800s.

Local inhabitants traditionally used the Pozo de los Lobos site as a strategic location for capturing wolves, reflecting historical wildlife management practices.

Visitors can explore the area through a 3.3-kilometer circular trail that connects major points of interest including the Valcabado viewpoint.

The karst landscape contains numerous geological formations, including a 20-meter waterfall that changes its flow patterns according to rainfall seasons.
