Monfragüe Intro

National Nature Park Monfragüe is in the centre of the triangle formed by Navalmoral de la Mata, Trujillo and Plasencia.
Declared as Natural Park in 1979, and as National Park in 2007, it stretches 17.852 acres and performs one of the largest and most representative settlings of Mediterranean forest and scrub.
River Tagus and Tiétar provide it its water environment and carve into the quartzite to accommodate large cliffs. In those cliffs spectacular colonies of Griffon Vultures do settle, and provide a place for Peregrine Falcon, Bonelli Eagle and Eagle Owl to nest.
In its riversides and riverbeds, Kingfisher, Cormorant and Nightingale can be seen. Also, there are other species related with water, like otters.
