The experience
Spain's largest oak forest and one of Europe's best preserved — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where brown bears, wolves and capercaillies outnumber the 20 hikers allowed in per day.
Access is capped at 20 free permits a day, so it never appears on itineraries.

It's only worth the detour May–Nov. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
