Cabañeros National Park

Cabañeros lies in the Montes de Toledo, across the north-west of Ciudad Real province and the south-west of Toledo, designated in 1995 and covering 390 square kilometres between the Estena and Bullaque rivers. It extends into the Chorito and Miraflores ranges. This is the largest and best surviving area of Iberian Mediterranean forest, with an enormous variety of plant species, and it holds sites of geological interest as well. The open dehesa and wooded hills carry deer in numbers, and the autumn rut is the season that draws people out to the viewpoints.
