There are many cork oaks in this section of the hike.

The cork oak is a tree found mainly in the western Mediterranean and is known for its bark, which is used as cork.

The bark is harvested every nine to twelve years, removing the outer layer to reveal the cork. The bark then grows back and can be harvested again.

Cork is used in a variety of products including wine stoppers, flooring and insulation materials.

The cork oak is a long-lived tree that can live up to 250 years. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a broad, spreading crown. The leaves of the cork oak are evergreen and have a leathery texture. The cork oak is a symbol of sustainability and environmental protection, as its harvest and use help preserve forests and promote biodiversity.

It is also an important part of the Mediterranean ecosystem, providing habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.

We completed this route on August 29, 2025, and upon reaching the dolmen, we were unable to continue because the trail was closed. We had to return along the same path we had taken. The return trail was closed because it crossed private property.
