Would you like to spend a day in a quiet wood, walk along paths with yourself as a guide, come across squirrels along the way, hear the blackbird sing and the clickety-clack of the woodpecker? Do you like the idea of walking through a beautiful botanical garden and discovering such singular species as gingkos from China, sequoias from California, chestnut trees from the Balkans and water lilies? Would you like to discover noble houses surrounded by woods, see charcoal burning piles and feel Nature with all your senses?
All this is possible in the Señorío de Bertiz Natural Park, 2,040 hectares of exuberant vegetation that includes a botanical garden with 126 different species, a Nature Interpretation Centre and fine country houses.
It is also the only place in Spain that has the seven different species of woodpecker that inhabit the Iberian Peninsula. This is an indicator of the good state of conservation of this Natural Park because the picidae only inhabit mature woodland where there are big, well-conserved trees.
Bertiz provides an enjoyable day out in a totally natural setting in a pleasant and quiet green corner of the Pyrenees of Navarre.
