モンフラグエ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The castle was built under Moorish rule.

Ideal habitat and breeding ground for large birds.

Eagles, vultures and black storks can be seen particularly well here.

It's a bit of a steep climb, but the view is so beautiful

The hiking trail from the parking lot at the foot of the Castillo is easy to walk and mostly goes up on the road. No particular difficulties await the hiker, but there are fantastic views over the Monfragüe Nature Park. Don't forget your binoculars so you can get a good look at the many vultures, eagles and black storks. The Castillo itself is rather uninteresting.

Villarreal de San Carlos is a district belonging to the town of Serradilla in the province of Cáceres, Autonomous Community of Extremadura, Spain. It was founded between 1758 and 1788 by Charles III as a permanent garrison to monitor the Monfragüe area, which at that time was devastated by banditry.

My hiking suggestion in the Monfragüe National Park: I start at the village of Villarreal de San Carlos and take the main path to the mountain Cerro Gimio. Here I enjoy the breathtaking view. We then continue along the lower path back to the village. Gnarled holm oaks line the path and I always enjoy the wonderful hilly and strangely gnarled landscape. Alternatively, you can walk along one of the narrow paths along the river. Unfortunately, they were closed when I visited. Here the path leads partly over wooden footbridges and stairs through the small gorge. https://youtu.be/hQM7vPsbXzA

From this point you can see one of the most emblematic natural elements of the Monfragüe National Park. The magnificent rock formation of Salto coming out of the mountain created by geological forces and time.
