Alcornocales Park Safaris
The beautiful ‘Parque Natural De Los Alcornocales’ is the second largest natural cork oak forest in the world.
Take a break and enjoy the natural beauty and abundance of wildlife: catch site of deer, boar and foxes; watch the graceful flight of the many birds of prey in this mountain forest; be amazed by the countless flowers and plants native only to this area. Primarily the trails are ‘Camino Forestal’ (forest roads) which are dirt roads and open to all traffic but very safe and quiet for leisurely cycle rides. The forest safaris are perfect to have a picnic delivered and to enjoy the shade provided by the trees - for those who prefer to stay out of the sun. There are some moderate climbs and descents along the route with some patches of rough potholed areas. With so many alternatives available in the park, we can guarantee a safari that will suit all levels.
North Park Route
The shortest route is a circular 25kms - you should allow 4 hours riding time. This gives you plenty of time to stop and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
A must for all safaris ending in the village is to have a refreshing swim in the river or just relax on the 'beach' with a chilled drink.
South Park Route
The Ojen Valley track is approximately 24kms and you should allow 4 hours riding time start to finish, which again gives you plenty of time for stops to admire this “off the beaten track” landscape.
Enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the peaceful forest, the rolling hills and the meadows on this undulating route. There are also many points of historical interest as you will be riding along an ancient route from the coast inland; it was formerly used by Romans, smugglers, bandits and the armies of the Spanish civil war – fortunately none of these groups are still using it!!
