This area just two hours to the east of Madrid covers more than 850.000 hectares and due to decades of depopulation has one of the lowest population densities in all of Europe. This is, the so called, “Empty Spain”. But for nature lovers this is a paradise akin to the American 4 Corners region. Vast landscapes where you can spend a full day on the trail and not pass another hiker or biker.

Much of the land is protected with Natura 2000 status and NGOs and local communities are working to drive economic development through nature based tourism projects like Terra. The area is home to eagles, peregrine falcons, eagle owls, deer, wild boar, mouflon, Iberian lynx and large populations of Egyptian and Griffon vultures
