A dehesa in the mountains
North of Las Majadas, among pine forests, the woodland opens into a dehesa of maples and Portuguese oaks: spaced trees with pasture beneath for livestock. This wood pasture is a form of woodland shaped by use, like the villages’ dehesas boyales (common ox pastures), where draught teams grazed.
The Park guide recommends autumn, when the maple leaves begin to fall and the site turns red. After rain or during the thaw, a waterfall also flows, dry for the rest of the year.
