Description
If for anything it is known Aldeaquemada is precisely for La Cimbarra. This spectacular waterfall, about 40 meters high, is located about two kilometres from the village in the south direction and has the category, as a protected natural space, of Natural Park. The access path is in good condition and efforts to improve it have been important in recent years.
In the central region of Sierra Morena, on a substrate of slate and sandstone, this protected space is located characterized by its accidental relief.
On the south-west side the river Guarrizas appears, creating strong slopes. On the contrary, the declives on the southeast side are softer. The napping of the river forms waterfalls, the most spectacular and beautiful being that of Cimbarra.
The flora is characterized by its heterogeneity. It abounds the mixed forest of oak and alcornoques, with an abundant Mediterranean bush. There is also an area of oak and repopulations of pineapple and black pine. The fauna is also rich and varied.
Among the medium-sized predators the fox and the gin abound, while numerous rapaces fly over the skies of this natural area of 534 hectares of extension, highlighting the royal eagle and the eagle.
