    The grandfather of all the chestnut trees in the forest ... an impressive tree, your visit is essential if you come to Castañar

    Imposing chestnut tree that is the main attraction of the Castañar de El Tiemblo. It is affectionately known as "El Abuelo" and it is about a much loved tree in the area, it is estimated that it must be 525 years old. But of course, 5 centuries do not pass in vain. Shepherds used to shelter from storms until fairly recently inside its huge hollow trunk and it looks like someone set a fire near it and it's a bit charred. Still, he remains imposing and his "children" grow strong
    around it.
