Cornalvo Natural Park, Natural park near Mérida, Spain
The protected area spans across mountains of Sierra Bermeja and Sierra del Moro, with rivers Aljucén and Albarregas flowing through its lands.
The Roman dam of Cornalvo, stretching 4 kilometers and constructed during ancient Roman times, received National Monument status in 1912 for its engineering value.
The park preserves traditional Spanish dehesa landscapes where cork oak and holm oak forests support local agricultural and livestock farming practices.
Guided tours lasting 4.5 hours include transportation in 4x4 vehicles, binoculars for each participant, and professional nature guides for groups up to six people.
The park hosts numerous bird species throughout different seasons, including Black Storks in summer, Common Cranes in winter, and Northern Wheatears during migration periods.
