We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- The meaning of the environments through which we travel is transmitted in a very pleasant way, understanding the ecosystem and landscape, its evolution and main components - The biodiversity of these protected areas, the key species of flora and fauna present, their current state of conservation and threat is explained. - The necessary behavior of the visitor in these protected areas is indicated under the premise that you should not notice that you have been there, also transferring it to the route traveled. The imperative need to carry all waste generated, including organic waste, is demanded. A cooperative group work is done by collecting all the waste that is found along the route, making an assessment of the impact caused by each one that is removed, as an exercise of environmental awareness in situ. - In addition, at the end of the field trip, the participants are encouraged to visit the village of El Barraco and get in touch with its inhabitants by walking through its streets, bars and stores, thus making the necessary link between the landscape (environment) and the people (those who live there). - The production centers of the most cutting-edge local gastronomic initiatives, with recognized international awards to their credit, which fully complete the experience enjoyed, highlighting the Don Juan del Águila Winery (PDO Cebreros), the Craft Beer Factory Raíz Cuadrada and the Elvira García Cheese Factory.
Come and discover the most common medicinal plants in El Barraco.
With the number of editions that have been made of this activity, a botanical inventory of about 60 species has been catalogued, all of them traditionally used as medicinal remedies. Many of them are still used today and more than 80% are still used to obtain their active principles in the production of medicines. A brochure with the complete inventory is available for the participant to enjoy marking the species found. This booklet, in addition to the sketch of the route, allows access by QR codes to the expanded inventory, photographic catalog of each species and its medicinal properties. The interaction with the environment and the contents during this experience is total. The learning sensation that this activity creates in the participants is guaranteed, because in the final stretch of the route they are already able to identify a good number of species of the most common Medicinal Plants that have been seen. And thanks to this booklet that is delivered at the beginning, with the use of a cell phone for downloads by QR code, the participant can perform in self-guided mode the tour, being able to return to fully enjoy it whenever they want.
