Above 800 metres altitude, and up to 1,600 metres, grows the Juniperus Thurifera, commonly known as the Juniperus Thurifera. sabina. These trees are up to 20 metres high and create an open forest passage that was once much sought after by shepherds and livestock breeders, as their strong wood and branches were used to build shelters for herds and shepherds.

In addition to enjoying a comfortable walk through the juniper grove, we come across an old building that corresponds to the Hermitage of the Virgen del Amorwhose carving, dating from the Romanesque period, is the bearer of the gift of preserving love according to old legends.
