Cañón del Magro - Tabarla

The Tabarla site is a stretch of the Magro river and its banks, declared a Municipal Natural Site in 2007 at 68.42 ha. It lies 5 km upstream of the Forata reservoir and forms an entrenched fluvial valley between the Martés range and the Buñol hills, with riverside woods that give it a clear visual appeal. It is one of the most visited corners of Yátova for a Sunday morning.

Wildlife and vegetation

The site holds aquatic and riverside vegetation, Aleppo pine woods and scrub on the sunny slopes. Ibex stands out, alongside wild boar, fox, Iberian hare and birds such as Bonelli eagle, eagle owl and bee-eater. The council keeps replanting native species such as maples, ashes, hackberries and elms.

Trail and recreation area

• The 9.1 km SLV 21 trail, of low difficulty, links the GR-7 with the PRV-115 and PRV-148 through the valley and the river canyon.
• There is a recreation area with paelleros for picnics, always respecting the surroundings.
• In summer take extra care with fire and follow current rules.
• You get there by car; combine it with the Turche Cave of Buñol, on the far side of the same hills.
