Imagine Navatrasierra with trilobites strolling about so peacefully. They explain all this and more in great detail there, and what’s more, it’s completely free. You just need to book, and that’s it. And if you’ve got time, we recommend visiting the Los Horcones picnic area and the Port of Arrebatacapas, close to the town, where you’ll see the Appalachian-style landscape like never before.
