LANDSCAPE

It is characterised by the verticality of its walls and the narrowing of the valley produced by the erosion of Torío River. Because of this erosion, we can see the kettles, torcas, dolines, sinks and other formations associated with the dissolution of the lime materials.

FLORA

The more common are grass and bushes, located in rocky lime slopes; in the slopes there is oak and beech scrubland. In the valleys we can find gallery forests constituted by willows and poplars.

FAUNA

It is worth noting the wolf, the muskrat of the Pyrenees, the lizard, and two insects: the Cerambys pork and the Geomalacus maculosus.
