Cabañeros National Park is a national park in Castile-La Mancha of Spain, between the provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real. It is a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA). It is the finest representation of the Mediterranean forest in the Iberian Peninsula and is home to unique species such as the Iberian Imperial Eagle and the Black Vulture. The natural enclave is of great interest due to its fauna, flora, and geology, where you can find relict flora that indicates the presence of past climates in the Iberian Peninsula. Cabañeros also features sites like the Boquerón del Estena, a path that runs alongside the river of the same name and takes you on a journey through seabeds that are over 500 million years old.
