Protected areas
Each protection designation has its legal basis, its area and its municipalities. Only those confirmed with an official source are listed here; missing ones are added when their legal basis is found.

The designation laws
Seven natural monuments in the Serranía, all with a page here: Palancares y Tierra Muerta, Torcas de la Lagunaseca, Lagunas de Cañada del Hoyo, Hoz de Beteta y Sumidero de Mata Asnos, Nacimiento del Río Cuervo, Serrezuela de Valsalobre and Muela Pinilla y del Puntal; the last four are also on altotajo.es and are linked. The designation decrees are scans without text: the legal basis is cited from the regional government's pages and still has to be checked against the DOCM, the regional gazette.
