It stands out for being one of the most well-kept pine forests in the Upper Tagus Natural Park and for being one of the best known and most appreciated places by the people of the area. Its facilities and its configuration of several areas linked by bridges that cross the streams that flow through the area give it a special singularity. So a simple stroll or one of the trails that run through the surrounding area is a plan that is sure to be a hit. Don't forget that you can also take a look at the fountains that we have left behind on the side of the road; their waters, more than curious, will leave you with a memory for a while.

Finally, we must emphasise the care and maintenance of our natural spaces. Lately we have been able to see how this and other areas have been victims of uncivic behaviour. In the Fuente de los Vaqueros recreational area, there is no rubbish collection service. Let us all make an effort to control our rubbish, collect it and deposit it in the many rubbish containers in the localities. With little effort we can all enjoy our clean corners.
