Berrocal, Slate and Mud Nature

It is the last geological and cultural step between Cáceres and Badajoz, a mixture of a little bit of everything, which provides an unusual biodiversity. Dehesas de Toros Bravos and cereal fields share the spaces.

The Búrdalo River and the Arroyo Caballeros are the fluvial references, with large summer low flows, supporting a large number of wild and domestic species.

The lowest elevation comprises part of a river valley formed by red soils, clays and boulders. It is a flat horizon

TheAbertura comprises two steps, two heights. Most of the land is located on an elevated plateau of mostly flat land with alternating soils of first slate and then granite. In this part the dehesa is the dominant landscape, but there are also good open spaces for pastures and crops. These are ideal areas for the Retinta cow, which shares acorns with Iberian pigs and some sheep.

The Búrdalo River is the main fluvial reference, with large low water levels in summer, it supports a large number of wild and domestic species. There are numerous ponds; some are artificial and others are real watering holes. It is a good place to wait for an animal in search of water.

The lowest elevation comprises part of a river valley formed by red soils, clays and boulders. It is a flat horizon where cereal crops were grown in the past and today shares space with the solar industry that has installed hundreds of panels on the hill and on the plain as well.

Interesting the Cerro de la Cantera, where human activity has exposed the interior of the earth and its most intimate formation in the great cut made.

Likewise, the Alto de San Gregorio and its viewpoint is another privileged place to observe all the surrounding lands and others in the distance. Looking for big catches or just a good day out in the field
