The country holidays centre La Parada del Cid is surrounded by oak, sabine, evergreen oak and pine groves. Espinosa de Cervera is principally a village dedicated to the agriculture and to the cattle farming, so that from the village to the south we find cultivated and fallow lands among areas of sabine groves. But from the village to the north what we find are oak and sabine groves, and also evergreen oak groves.
Through these forests you will can go for a walk tranquilly and with luck,and if you do not make noise, you will be able to see some examples of the fauna of the region.

It is possible to see roe deers in the area of Las Hoces and in the pine groves of Talamanquilla.

View of a wild boar. The wild boars can be seen in the area of the Monte Encina and by the slopes of Cervera.

It also abound the partridges, the rabbits and the hares. Sometimes it has been heard a history about a person being sat for a while on a stone and when rising, the hare jumped below the stone.

Above the hermitage valley it overlooks a hill named La Cuesta, where once a year the people comes in procession, and after that the child start to descend the hill in a crazy race, known as La Carrera, with direction to the village.

Following the path that leaves to the right the hermitage of San Gines, we go deep into the Monte Encina, famous by its denseness and where, with luck, it is possible to see some wild boar. It is covered by some paths, perfect to go for a walk or playing bicycle or go in quad.

Through the path from the village to the hermitage of Talamanquilla, if we turn by the half of the way to the right then we go deep into the sabine grove, there you will find a faggot in the area known as La Cortadiza, then you can descend the first valley and cross to pass to the second one, and there follow it up the river.
This valley, also known as La Hoz, will offer us splendid landscapes, for example the Buho Rock, the La Corta Rock or the La Larga Rock. If we do not make noise, it will be possible to observe some of the vultures that live in this area all the year.

Through the river course you will find many turns and rocks, and to the end we will arrive to the meadows that there are above Las Hoces.
