The principal characteristic and wealth of this park is the continuing human occupation by an agricultural based society, which to this day still practices "transumância" of its cattle - the annual transfer of herds from summer to winter pastures. This human presence in harmony with soaring eagles, herds of wild horses, mountain goats, and wolves.

Rich in stories and history, you'll be charmed as you listen to the lore as told by these people, descendants of the builders of "castros" and dolmens, whose women dress in the black of mourning when their men folk wander far to work.
