The Dehesa is the Iberian Peninsula’s best kept secret – sometimes called the Spanish Serengeti, it is an ancient, wild grassland dotted with trees. But these are no ordinary trees – holm oaks, cork trees and gall-oaks have shaped this landscape and, today, large herbivores graze the landscape, stealthy Iberian lynxes prowl the shadows, formidable eagles patrol the skies, and colourful wildflowers conceal predators that have such astonishing camouflage they seem to completely disappear. The Dehesa is a crucially important ecosystem with awe-inspiring biodiversity. For all its apparent serenity and tranquillity, this is a wild territory, where the battle for life is never far away and every living creature struggles to survive from day to day— until the next sunrise.
