The Park comprises a mountain massif located to the south of Castell\u00f3n, in the regions of Plana Baixa (Eslida) and Alt Millars (Torralba del Pinar).<\/span>
\nIt is a very steep mountain range but not very high since its highest mountains barely exceed a thousand meters such as the Pinar peak (1101 meters) or the Espad\u00e1n peak (1099 meters).<\/span>
\nIt has a Mediterranean climate with rainfall in autumn and spring alternating with dry periods. Annual rainfall is irregular, ranging between 450-730mm. The orientation of the mountain ranges and their proximity to the sea facilitate the formation of fogs, developing valleys and slopes with high ambient humidity.<\/span>
\nThe originality of the Sierra de Espad\u00e1n lies in the dominance of siliceous soils compared to most of the mountain ranges of the Valencian Community, which are eminently calcareous (Limestone)<\/span><\/p>\n

It has a vegetation composed mainly by Cork Oaks, Pines, Holm Oaks and Mediterranean shrub formations. Its flora has more than 1000 species of vascular plants (Tracheophytes), some of them endemic.<\/span>
\nIn siliceous soils, the potential vegetation is represented by cork oak (Quercus suber<\/em>). This species has the peculiarity of offering great resistance to fire, which gives it enormous ecological value. Cork Oak is found in monospecific woodlands or mixed with maritime pine (Pinus pinaster<\/em>) used in ancient times for the extraction of resins, that has completely replaced the cork oak trees in some locations. The degradation of the cork oak forest gives rise to rockrose (Cistus monspeliensis<\/em>), (Cistus salviifolius<\/em>) and French lavender (Lavandula stoechas<\/em>), which on the wetter slopes are accompanied by heather (Calluna vulgaris<\/em>).<\/span>
\nIn calcareous soils we find the Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis<\/em>), sharing habitat with some residual specimens of holm oak (Quercus ilex subsp. rotundifolia<\/em>), despite Holm Oak being the potential vegetation in these areas. Taking the place of holm oak appears the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus<\/em>) and, in the poorest soils, the kermes oak (Quercus<\/em> coccifera<\/em>), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis<\/em>), white rockrose (Cistus albidus<\/em>), and gorse (Ulex parviflorus<\/em>) …<\/span>
\nThe most commonly collected mushroom species are Amanita caesarea<\/em>, Boletus aereus<\/em>, Russula cyanoxantha<\/em>, Cantharellus pallens<\/em> and Cantharellus lutescens<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
