The Canyon of the Buitreras is an incredible natural spot located on the outskirts of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park. What really stands out about this place is how vertical its walls are, with a depth of more than 100 metres. As we get closer to the Garganta de las Buitreras, this depth will be twice as much.
