Other species like long-eared owl, the barn owl, cuckoo, oriole, the little owl and the scops also frequented this area during certain periods of the year. Even were enjoying three consecutive winters a hawk who decided to stay the cold season with us. "

José Manuel "the changes caused by the fire are deep and the area has lost much natural value, it will take years to recover."
