Discover the magic of the Berrea in Monfragüe and Sierra de San Pedro with Casa Pizarro Hotel
At Casa Pizarro Hotel, we want our guests to know one of the most amazing manifestations of nature: the “berrea” in the impressive landscapes of Monfragüe and Sierra de San Pedro, two of the closest areas to the city of Caceres. This natural event, which takes place every year between late September and early October, is a spectacle that awakens all the senses and connects the visitor with the purest essence of wildlife.
What is the “Berrea”?
The roaring occurs during the rutting period of the deer, during which the males emit loud roars to mark their territory and attract females. This ritual is not only a display of strength and endurance, but also an opportunity to observe these majestic animals up close in their natural habitat.
The roars, which can be heard from kilometers away, along with the fights between males for dominance over the females, create a unique visual and auditory spectacle.
Monfragüe and Sierra de San Pedro: Unique Natural Scenarios
Monfragüe and Sierra de San Pedro are two of the most privileged enclaves to enjoy the rutting season in the province of Caceres.
– Monfragüe, known for being one of the most representative national parks of the Iberian Peninsula, is a refuge of biodiversity where deer find a perfect environment for this ritual. Its “dehesas” (pastures), Mediterranean forests, and the course of the Tagus River throughout its length create an unparalleled setting for those who wish to enjoy nature in its purest form. Along with all this, places like the Salto del Gitano or Monfragüe Castle are essential stops on your visit to this natural area.
–The Sierra de San Pedro is another of Extremadura’s great natural treasures. Known as the land of cork, this mountain range features a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) and a Special Conservation Area (SAC), with a Mediterranean forest ecosystem consisting of holm oaks, cistus, and cork oak forests. Additionally, local communities offer an opportunity to experience the local culture, enjoy Extremadura’s cuisine and discover traditional architecture. Here, the rutting season takes on an almost mystical character, with the echoes of the roars resonating from the early hours of the day until late in the afternoon.
