Barranco del Cabrito

The Barranco del Cabrito Natural Monument occupies the middle and lower areas of the ravine of the same name, in the municipality of San Sebastián. This area has two large ravines in its interior, the Cabrito, called Juan de Vera in its upper section, and La Guancha. The ravines that make up the Cabrito basin constitute a peculiar landscape of great typicality, where there is no lack of outstanding singular elements such as the crests and rocks of the interfluves, as well as the palm groves on its slopes. As a whole, it forms a geomorphological structure deeply dismantled by erosion.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not walk in areas where it is not allowed and respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
- Do not light fires outside the permitted areas and be especially careful during the summer months.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
