Viewpoint overlooking rocky slopes covered with cork oaks fringing the rio Tajo. Good for Eurasian Black Vulture and Spanish Eagle.
Apart from the nice view (which is typical of the character of the National park), this viewpoint is a good place to see the two most iconic birds of the entire region: Eurasian Black Vulture and Spanish Eagle, the former of which nests on the slopes opposite the viewpoint. Apart from these two charismatic species, Black Stork, Short-toed Snake Eagle, Iberian Magpie, Red-necked Nightjar and Booted Eagle may also be seen.
Easily reached from both Torrejon el Rubio and Plasencia. After crossing the dam over the river Tietar, follow the road, through the pine woodland for a couple of kilometers, the viewpoint is then located on the right side of the road. Check the electricity pylons surrounding the site for Short-toed Snake Eagle!
