La Pica may be the largest and oldest oak tree in the fields and forests of Madrid. It has been declared a Singular Tree by the Community of Madrid since 1992. It is an extraordinary forest monument, named by poets such as Antonio Machado and featured in numerous nature and environmental documentaries. Its estimated age is around three hundred years. It must have been born in the mid-eighteenth century. The trunk has a perimeter of four metres and a height of twenty metres, with a crown projection of five hundred square metres. It is a true jewel of forest nature.
