We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- The routes follow official trails authorized by the park. The trails are cleaned during activities and outings. They promote the shared use of transportation to reach the starting point of the route, thus reducing the associated carbon emissions.
- They propose alternative routes that are less known and less frequented, allowing for a more intimate experience of the environment and distributing the tourist flow away from the most saturated points and times of the year, thus favoring conservation.
- They have installed nesting boxes on the farm to encourage bird nesting.
They produce their own extra virgin olive oil using traditional techniques combined with advanced technology, which can later be enjoyed at tastings.
- They promote the activities carried out in the western area of the natural park as an offer that facilitates the deconcentration of the overcrowded areas of the protected natural space, while consolidating the link between visitors and this sector of the mountain range.
- We work exclusively with professionals from Villanueva del Arzobispo and the immediate surroundings, contributing to the local economy.
- We collaborate with organic producers, rural lodgings and artisans, promoting tourism that adds value to the territory. Part of the profits from the activity are used to support conservation and environmental education projects in the region, such as participatory reforestations, wildlife monitoring and school campaigns.

Guided tour combining stars and nature
Live a unique experience under one of the clearest skies in southern Europe. From a privileged enclave in Villanueva del Arzobispo, far from light pollution, we invite you to discover the secrets of the universe with an activity of initiation to astronomy guided by specialized monitors. The location of the center, on the panoramic road A-6202, allows you to reach the natural park in a short distance and enjoy a place with magnificent views of the Sierra de las Villas.
During the experience you will be able to observe, with the naked eye and professional telescopes, constellations, planets, satellites, star clusters and other celestial bodies. At the same time, you will learn to identify the firmament and understand its relationship with ancient cultures, the cycles of nature and the legends that surround the night sky.
Throughout the night you will learn to orient yourself using the stars, observe various celestial bodies with a telescope and astronomical laser pointer, listen to mythological stories and scientific curiosities, and enjoy a natural environment in silence, under a blanket of stars.
