THE BLACK VULTURE

Inside the same exhibition building there is a room specially dedicated to the Black Vulture, jewel of the Reserve, where we are given information about the biology of this vulture and the colony of the Reserve.

If you prefer to see the Valley from a "bird's eye view", you can take an interactive flight.

THE FOREST AND THE VALLEY

Another area of the exhibition area is dedicated to the Forest, with a representation of the most emblematic trees and an audiovisual that explains the many benefits that forests provide us.

If you wish to enjoy an exceptional view of the Valley and the Burguillo Reservoir, you only have to look out onto the terrace with interpretive panels to see the landscape.

THE MEMORY CORNER

Located in another small building on the site, this space is dedicated to showing what life was like in this area in the mid-twentieth century.

It shows life in the village, resin, wood and the work of the forest rangers.

This room is also used as a meeting room, conference celebrations, exhibitions, activities... since the Casa de la Reserva is also intended to be a space for the local population.
