Hi, my name is Acfutjo.

I’m going to tell you about The Monfragüe Natural Park.

Monfragüe is located in the center of the province of Caceres, between that forms the famous cities of Plasencia, Trujillo and Caceres.

Monfragüe, with 18.396 hectares, was the first protected area of Extremadura. This Natural Park on 4^th, April in 1979 became the first place with plants eucalypts.

In July 2003, it was recognited as Biosphere Reserve for the great lands in the Natural Park.

In Monfragüe there are different ecosystems with different fauna and flora’s characteristics. There are Mediterranean Forest Landscapes. This is one of the last ecosystems in Europe.

There is Mediterranean fauna with more than 200 species of vertebrates animals and there are more in the winter.

This is a spectacular Natural Park. I would like you went there. I’m sure that you would enjoy a lot.
