The Holy Cross together with the yellow arrow and a scallop shell are the three symbols that guide pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. On this occasion, making a stop along the way taking advantage of the structure of the cross can be quite a luxury.

Enjoy the nature of this corner of the road. You will be surprised by all the different species of both animals and plants that you can discover.

11,000 hectares of nature park, formerly pasture land, now left to nature. 250 animal species and over 179 bird species, including the black stork, which is threatened with extinction, holm and cork oaks everywhere, ash trees, elms and willows along the streams. And always my favorite shrub: cistus.
