Nature · Bejís, El Alto Palancia, Castellón

Peñaescabia is a 475-hectare municipal natural site declared by the Generalitat Valenciana on 26 November 2004, extending between the municipalities of Bejís and El Toro, in the Alto Palancia comarca. It lies on the foothills of the sierra of El Toro, with a maximum height of 1,331 metres, near the source of the Palancia river, and preserves a highly diverse Mediterranean forest, with black pine woods, yew trees, thuriferous juniper stands and holm oaks, home to species such as the Bonelli's eagle, the wildcat and the badger. In the Umbría de los Tajos, the site's area of greatest environmental value, three footprints of a chirotherium, around 250 million years old, have been found, and the surroundings also hold the hermitage of San Cristóbal and the Patrosa aqueduct.
