Points of interest
The Sierra de Espadán Natural Park mountain range is located between the regions of Alto Palancia , Alto Mijares and Plana Baja and is home to one of the very few sandstone outcrops in this part of Spain. With an abrupt and broken relief made up of peaks and ridges accompanied by deep ravines and valleys this is the second largest protected area in the Valencian Community.
The area has also become famous as a starlight destination. The Starlight Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2009 to promote the protection of the night sky and the development of “astrotourism” and there is an ever growing list of starlight destinations in Spain to visit.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
