Travel south Extremadura through the region like travel by train toy, which looks much green lawn stretching [...]]]> Extremadura autonomous region located between the leading Spanish and Portugal, in the western capital of Madrid. This area is a haven for millions of migratory birds and is now also become the region last stand for many endangered animals.

Travel south Extremadura through the region like travel by train toy, which looks much green lawn stretching across the hill with a collection of the Oak trees that have old age.  More than half of the Extremadura region covered by nature with a view like that, which is known in Spanish as Dehesa.  In the shadow Oak trees scattered many farm animals.  As of Iberian pigs spend their time sniffing their noses into the roots of oak trees for seeds.

Exotic birds such as Hoopoe is a common sight in Extremadura, but to be able to see the Great Bustard bird you need some luck, because this bird is very shy.

Bustard bird species can grow to a maximum of about one meter and can weigh up to 18 pounds, so this bird is one of bird species that live on land that has the heaviest weight.

Extremadura now become one of the wildlife of the most important in continental Europe.  Many other mammals in that place-dependent population of the ancient oak trees that were there. Most of Extremadura is an industrial area but the local government decided to establish nature reserves on land area of 18 thousand hectares of the park named Monfrague.

In that park, visitors can be taken by the tour guide drove to Castillo de Monfrague (Monfrague palace) is situated over the rocks 500 feet high, surrounded by birds Vultures (a type of falcon).  This type of bird has a wing span can reach the size of three meters.

This bird is a marriage of European and Asian birds and have black and categorized as the largest bird of prey.  There are approximately 250 couples who successfully cultivated in that area.  Monfrague Park is the largest colony in the world for these types of birds.

One of the rarest animals that can be found in this park that is the Imperial Eagle (a hawk) that is found only in Spain.  As with birds, other migratory birds who stop in this area, there is also a kind of White Stork can we meet in Extremadura at the beginning of the year.  Birdsong is a cheerful can we hear at the beginning of January when the birds are busy making nests that can weigh up to two tons.  A few weeks later became a place Extremadura colorful.

One thing that can not be found in any part of the hemisphere.  In the spring found as many as 40 different species of plants, grow and blossom in this place.   To eat after the tour business, in this area there are many good eating places. But just as with other places in rural Spain, it was difficult to find a place to eat for vegetarians because almost all the restaurants here serve only foods that are made of various meats.

One of the special meals in the area is salchichon which is a large sausage, then chorozo and torta del casar made from goat’s milk. The best place for fans of hiking activities are northern Extremadura, where the highest mountain peak that can be found is Calvitero which has 2500 meters altitude. Much different from the south, the northern region remained green throughout the summer.
