Hotels in Los Alcornocales Natural Park, Spain

Los Alcornocales Natural Park, in southern Spain near Tarifa, is Europe's largest cork oak forest and a top spot for bird migration-over 300 species pass through here. The Mediterranean climate means mild winters (around 50°F/10°C) perfect for hiking the ancient cork trails, while summers hit 86°F/30°C, so head to the shaded La Sauceda gorge for a cool escape. Spring and autumn are best for watching griffon vultures and booted eagles from the observatory at Puerto de Galiz, and you can spot wild boar and deer if you're quiet.
