Fuente del Endrino Alto recreational area

Fuente del Endrino Alto.

This recreational area, Fuente del Endrino Alto, has been one of the favourite places for the people from Alustante and its surroundings to make your snacks for friends and family enjoying a privileged environment.

We are located at about 7 kilometres from the villageThe site is located in the middle of a dense pine forest at an altitude of 1700 metres, so this is probably the most important recreational area located at the highest altitude of the entire Upper Tagus Natural Park.It is this characteristic that also influences the high mountain waters that we can enjoy here.

The spring is situated at 1700 metresAfter some analyses carried out in the last decade, it was said that the waters that flowed here were suitable for children's meals or for people with kidney problems, as it has a very low salt contentbeing a very soft water without microbiological contaminationWe would not be wrong to say that these are probably the purest and cleanest waters in the whole Natural Park.

The Fuente del Endrino Alto recreational area has an area where we can park outside the recreation area, equipped with tables with wooden and stone benchessome covers and a shelter where we will be able to spend the night as a crossing, as well as the fountain, which is very well equipped so that we can comfortably fill our bottles.

Apart from the marvellous waters, another attraction of this place is its spectacular forest of pine trees, many of them centuries oldfor a pleasant stroll or to enjoy an afternoon of collecting mushroomsThis is one of those privileged places where you can fill your basket, but let's remember that mycological exploitation is regulated and we would have to ask for permission to do so.

It must also be said that this area is located in the highest part, and as we go up, we leave behind us two other areas called Fuente del endrino Bajo and Fuente del Endrino Medio. These fully equipped areas are campsites and are regulated by the Alustante Town Council, So if we have any doubts or if we are interested, we will have to request the necessary permits from the administration. Outside the camping season, or if the area is free, we can use it as a recreational area without any problem.

Lastly, we would like to remind you that there is no rubbish collection service outside the urban centres in the Natural Park, so if we decide to use these infrastructures, we must not forget to take the rubbish to the village bins. If we see any containers at the entrances to the campsites, they are for the use of the campsites and the rubbish is only removed when they are in operation, twice a week and by the people themselves, so if we can avoid filling them out of season, it will be much easier for everyone.
