The call of the deer in Montes de Toledo

 

¿Would you like to stay a weekend listening the call of the deer in Montes de Toledo?

 

During the weekend we will live one of the most hectic times of the year in the Mediterranean forest, the mating season of the red deer.

Toledo Mountains is an extensive orographic barrier that makes its way through the heart of Castilla-La Mancha from east to west, and serves as a dividing line between the basins of two great rivers, the Tajo and Guadiana. It is a succession of quartzite, steep but not very high mountains. Its slopes and foothills are covered for some of the best spots of Spanish Mediterranean forest, often included in large big game farms.

Is the habitat of jewels of our avifauna as the Spanish Imperial Eagle, among an extensive list of birds of prey. The area offers interesting possibilities for ornithological and mammal observations.

We will also have time to hike while observing the flora, fauna and landscapes of the Mediterranean forest. In addition to deer in the area we can see other species such as Spanish Imperial Eagle, Golden Eagle, Cinereous Vulture, Crossbill, Crested Tit, Sardinian Warbler, Hoopoe...
