Rafael Romero Porrino et la Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche

Right on the westernmost border of the Sierra Morena in Andalusia, only one-and-a-half hours from Doñana, lies the vast area called Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche (Huelva province). Its 300,000 hectares take in several different sorts of Mediterranean landscape, such as rivers fringed with Oleander and Bushweed, leafy oakwoods, Mediterranean heaths, its trademark Chestnut woods, well-conserved riverside copses and vast dehesas that serve as perfect examples of what we call today the “sustainable use” of our natural resources. Nature lovers are spoilt for choice in the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche.
In the first volume « Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche » of the collection of guidebooks titled « Birding and Nature Trails in Sierra Morena. Andalusia », Rafael Romero Porrino proposes us 17 nature-watching outings of different types (car rides, walks, family-friendly strolls and fixed lookout points) and different degrees of difficulty designed to be useful both for expert naturalists and rank beginners. He answered our questions.
