Navas de Estena, a small village with a population of 400 people in the heart of the Toledo mountains, less than two hours from Madrid and an hour from Toledo.

Almost the whole of the Navas de Estena district is located in the Cabañeros National Park. The Boquerón of the River Estena (800 metres from the house), within the National Park, we find the most peculiar flora in Cabañeros.. The almost space-like appearance of this gorge creates the ideal conditions for yew trees, alder trees, holly trees, Royal ferns (Osmunda regalis), small peat areas... On the whole, this is a very fresh and rugged landscape, and without a doubt, the best part of Cabañeros
