Ciervos en berrea al atardecer en la Sierra de Segura

September and October

The red deer rut (la berrea)

Every autumn, from mid-September to mid-October, the bellowing of rutting stags echoes across the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park. It is one of Spain’s great natural spectacles, the very one Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente filmed in these mountains.

From La Veguilla you can head out at dawn or dusk to watch and listen to it. We will advise you on the best viewpoints and the guided outings of the season. Book early: these are the most popular weeks of the year.
