The Centuries-old Holm Oak of Las Fuentes del Marqués


 In the heart of Las Fuentes del Marqués (Marquis' Springs), in Caravaca de la Cruz, stands a monumental, centuries-old holm oak (Quercus ilex), whose twisted silhouette and exposed roots tell the silent story of the forest. The passage of time and the weight of the centuries, this venerable specimen refuses to vanish, keeping the greenery of its horizontal canopy alive.

A 400-year-old protected natural monument.
