For those curious and adventurous this region offers activities in a natural environment as well as routes that hold true treasures
Activities
One way to enjoy the natural environment is to practice outdoor activities, learn about the environment around us, disconnect from routine, slow down to pay attention to our surroundings, get away from noise to listen to nature, hear the voice within us.
Bird watching
Extremadura can be considered one of the European regions of greatest importance for birds, a true ornithological paradise fostered by the excellent conservation status of its natural habitats and by the high diversity of existing landscapes. The high snow-capped peaks of the Sierra de Gredos, the vast grasslands of the penillanuras, the untouched forests, the endless meadows, the abrupt mountains that break and support the landscape, the large reservoirs, rivers, streams and the vast and varied expanses of crops, are a very favourable environment for birds, finding suitable habitats to establish.
Fishing
The Aldea del Cano reservoir, also known as the Nogales reservoir, is located just over 1 km south of the town. It dates back to 1988, when it was built and conceived to support irrigation in the area.
The water is provided by the streams of Santiago, La Zafra, La Zafrilla, Nogales and La Cuesta, which run over extensive oak forests. The outcrops of large granite boulders characterize the landscape of the area, emerging even over the waters of the reservoir like islands.
Valdesalor reservoir. It is located 23 km south of the city of Cáceres in Extremadura. Fed by the river Salor gives it part of its name.
Rut
The rut is the season of heat of the females and males of the deer. The rut period occurs between the first week of September and the first week of October, in deer living in the Mediterranean climate.
During the rut season of the deer, males lose a lot of weight as a result of lower food intake, as they devote most of their time to agonistic behaviors or ritualized struggles, that is, the males fight each other without reaching a dramatic end, the winner will be more attractive to the females, as it is a sign of having a good genetics and a strong health, so the females will be attracted and will want to copulate. These behaviors are mediated by sex hormones.
Only the males have antlers. This is not perennial, but falls at the end of the winter and grows back for the next rut. The growth begins in February and, by the month of July is already formed, but it will still be covered with a fine hair that must be detached in August.
