One a spacious room filled with display panels, display cases and fossils shows you what life was like when the Villuercas Ibores Jara Geopark lay beneath the sea; Yes, under the sea, like SpongeBob.
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.
