Tragacete Visitor Reception Centre

Tragacete Visitor Reception Centre, on Travesía de San Felipe, is the northern entrance to the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park. Covering about 1,310 m² on two floors, it explains mountain forests and landscape through panels, models, projections and traditional tools. Trail PNSC-06 to Cascada del Molino de la Chorrera starts here.

The entrance to the Park

The Natural Park visitor centre in Tragacete covers about 1,310 m², with a steel-slat and glass façade and a concrete roof folded like the mountain relief. It is accessible for people with reduced mobility and equipped for school groups. It is not an observation hide: wildlife is rarely seen from here.

The exhibition

It has five areas: Natural Areas Network, Discovering the Landscape, Art of Water and Wind, River of Life and Observing the Surroundings. These are complemented by tools of the Serranía’s trades and an audiovisual presentation in which a grandfather tells his grandson about landscape, plants, animals and village life. There is an audiovisual room, classroom-library and guided visits, «Explora tu espacio» (explore your space).
