    Hiking

    Magnificent and thick cork oak forest in this stretch, full of trees with their particular bark that makes them look a bit like the Ents of the Fangorn Forest (The Lord of the Rings). The peculiarity of these cork trees is that, even if burned by any fires, they always come back to life, because they are protected by their bark, which burns, yes, but protects them from the heat.
