It lies within the Hoz de Beteta, beside the Guadiela, with benches, tables and an unchlorinated-water spring. It takes its name from the gorge’s most distinctive tree: the lime, scarce at these latitudes, long-lived and large, growing here with hazels, hollies, box, yews and black pine. The regional government explains it along the gorge’s botanical trail.
