A characteristic landscape of the southwestern quadrant of the Iberian peninsula in which crops, pasture land or Mediterranean scrub, in juxtaposition or rotation, are shaded by a fairly closed to very open canopy of native oaks, [Quercus suber], [Quercus rotundifolia], [Quercus pyrenaica], [Quercus faginea]. It is an important habitat of raptors, including the threatened Iberian endemic eagle [Aquila adalberti], of the crane [Grus grus], of large insects and their predators and of the endangered Iberian lynx [Lynx pardinus].
