RESERVA NACIONAL DE CAZA DEL CIJARA


Cijara is one of the wildest and most remote areas of Extremadura, situated in Caceres province on the border with Castillo La Mancha. It covers a huge area of 25.000 hectares with just one or two villages situated near the lake but mainly huge areas with nothing but water and deep pine and cork oak woods. It is a hunting reserve, the wild boar, deer and game birds are prolific, whilst walking on the many walking trails there are usually sightings of deer, the wild boar are more secretive and usually nocturnal. Bird life is amazing with birds of prey and many water species.

A wonderful day out but take a picnic as there are no cafés or restaurants anywhere on the winding narrow roads.
This is one of the trails through the woods and fabulous rock formations covered in vivid green lichen.
Needless to say we had the trails all to ourselves even on this gorgeous spring day
