There is a branch towards the landing of the Mesas de Santiago, installed next to a traditional well in the Cañada de Vicos. From this point you can see a succession of endless hills and troughs dedicated to extensive cereal cultivation. In addition, it is the ideal habitat for the nesting of the great bustard; as well as different steppe birds, such as the red-legged partridge or the Montagu’s harrier.
