Cíjara reserve, Nature reserve in Extremadura, Spain.
The Cíjara Reserve covers 38,000 hectares of Mediterranean forest with holm oaks, cork oaks, and diverse flora across the Badajoz province.
The Spanish government established this protected area in 1966 as a National Reserve, later transferring management to the Extremadura Regional Government.
Local communities from five municipalities maintain traditional practices of mushroom gathering and organize seasonal hunting activities within designated zones.
The reserve features marked trails for hiking and cycling, with visitor access restricted during specific hunting periods throughout the year.
The construction of Cíjara Dam in 1956 transformed the agricultural landscape into a wildlife sanctuary, creating new habitats for numerous bird species.
