Tierra de Pinares
The wealth of birdlife is especially interesting in several
areas that have been designated as SPAs (Special Protection
Areas) and SCIs (Sites of Community Importance) within the
Red Natura 2000 network, with
special reference to the Cantalejo lakes. A large part of the
area is marked as an Important
Area for the black stork. These protected areas together
with others, are very interesting
because of their birdlife, this
is the case of the limestone
moorland and northern gorges
of the river Duratón, making
the Tierra de Pinares district in
the province of Segovia a birdwatching destination because
of the variety of its eco-systems.
