Description

La Valleja is an agritourism hotel with several organic farms, including orchards, forests, and vegetable gardens in the mid-mountain area of ​​the Sierra del Cuera, home to wildlife including bearded vultures and wolves. Autumn is the season of peak fruiting, both in the forests and in their associated agricultural systems. It's the perfect time to observe, learn about, share, and be part of this wildlife. We'll learn about trees, shrubs, plants and their fruits, autumn mushrooms, as well as the flora and fauna species associated with these ecosystems, and we'll understand the importance of ecological management of these spaces and the consumption of locally sourced products.
