Valle de Alcudia and Sierra Madrona Natural Park

The park extends across 149,463 hectares of Mediterranean forest, featuring quartzite peaks, deep valleys, and extensive holm oak woodlands in southern Ciudad Real.

The protected area contains archaeological remains from Neolithic times, including Iberian-Roman settlements and prehistoric rock art sites throughout its territory.

Traditional activities such as beekeeping, charcoal production, and livestock herding shape the landscape through a network of ancient transhumance routes.

Visitors can explore designated hiking trails that connect eight municipalities, with observation points for watching endangered species like the Iberian lynx.

The park encompasses two major river basins, Guadiana and Guadalquivir, creating diverse ecosystems that support both Mediterranean and Atlantic flora species.
