Peñón Jurado and Las Tres Hermanas are siliceous cliff faces that rear up above rolling hills thickly clad in Holm Oaks, Junipers, Heather, Strawberry Trees, Narrow-Leaved False Olives, Portuguese Oaks, Pines and Cistus scrub. This is a heavily wooded area with important areas of unspoilt Mediterranean woodland despite the odd pine plantation. Griffon Vulture, Peregrine Falcon, Golden Eagle, Booted Eagle, Eagle Owl, Short-Toed Eagle, Melodious Warbler and Dartford Warbler can all be spotted from here, together with the stunning butterfly Two-Tailed Pasha. More information on this trail in the book Birding and Nature Trails in Sierra Morena de Jaén. |
