Valdemeca Visitor Reception Centre

Valdemeca Visitor Reception Centre stands on the village outskirts beside the CM-2106, in the Natural Park's south-east. Its exhibition emphasises the fungal resources especially abundant in Sierra de Valdemeca, and the PNSC-10 Casa del Cura trail starts here. Its concrete building matches the mountains' reddish sandstone.

A building the colour of rodeno

The Natural Park visitor centre in Valdemeca stands in the Park’s south-east, a few metres from the CM-2106. An understated building, a single volume in five modules, of concrete tinted the colour of the mountains’ red sandstones.

What is shown

The exhibition explores protected areas: landscape, rocks and relief, forests and plants, and especially mushrooms. There are panels, tables, models and interactive points. An audiovisual presentation explains why the Park has so many plants: its variety of soils, altitudes, aspects and water.

Plan your visit

PR-CU 105, the short-distance Sendero de la Casa del Cura trail, starts at the centre. The «Del centro al sendero» (from the centre to the trail) programme leads to PNSC-S8, the Fuente de la Ardilla mycological walk.
