    Amazing

    I loved! You can see selvage horses and cows, lots of different species of birds, rock paintings, impressive fauna and flora, and lots and lots and lots of rocks alog Côa Valley. Crazy place, you need to go there.

    Great nature reserve with wild cows and horses

    Great and really wild area with vultures, eagles, horses and wild cows. The the steep slopes of the river are formed by granite outcroppings and cliffs, a good habitat for the cliff-breeding birds.

    Cliff breeders, wild horses and cows in a developing provate nature reserve.

    This stunning nature reserve surprised me in many ways: first the Egyption vultures, Bonelli eagles and other rare cliff breeders. but also the landscape, the deep Coa valley and its surrounding historic villages where time stands still. The initiators, who started this private reserve, deserve...More

    According to the Internet it is 850 acres. We didn't see anyone else on our hike there. We didn't hike until it ended...we hiked until we got tired and then turned around and came back.
