Natural Environment:

Most of the Cultural Park is located within the Protected Landscape of Rodeno Pine-forests, which is important because of the relief formed in the sandstones and conglomerates of the Buntsandstein facies, in combination with the mass of pine trees (Pinus pinaster), whose reddish colour shows off the prehistoric rock-art in the shelters and ravines.


Archaeological evidences in the site:

The Cultural Park has representations, occasionally superimposed, belonging to the Levantine and Schematic cycles. Some thirty decorated rock-shelters are distributed on a long route which is correctly signposted, enabling the public to visit them in a way that is suited to their abilities and interest, while enjoying the exceptional natural scenery.
