The Castilseras dehesa is located in the southwest of the province of Ciudad Real, in the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha.
La Dehesa de Castilseras is an area with certain environmental characteristics that favor the presence of some emblematic species such as the black vulture, the black stork or the imperial eagle. Due to these environmental values, the European Union has included the Sierras de Almadén-Chillón-Guadalmez in the Natura2000 Network, as well as other nearby protected areas, such as Sierra Morena, Sierra de Santa Eufemia, Sierra de los Canalizos, and the Quejigal rivers, Valdeazogues and Alcúdia.
Its landscape is characterized by holm oak forests, cork oaks, reservoirs, Mediterranean mountains and steep quartzite mountains make up an exceptional landscape, along with the banks of the Valdeazogues River, where willows, ash trees, poplars and diverse riverside vegetation grow.
The farm is crossed by the Valdaezogues rivers, which have shaped the landscape over millions of years, leaving a relief of valleys and mountains, mainly quartzite.
It´s estimated that in the last 3,000 years this territory has become a landscape through the complementary action between nature and man, and whose result, the Dehesa, is one of the most unique ecosystems on earth, in no other European country have of a landscape and ecological jewel like this. The Dehesas are the equivalent of the African savannahs where, instead of herds of antelope, zebra and wildebeest, our grazers are mainly sheep, cattle and deer.
