just a month ago most of the mountain forests had not yet sprouted. Have sufficed a few weeks of mild temperatures and a few days longer so that the tips of the trees were opened suddenly changing the face of our forests. A week ago we had an internship with the college students in the district of Casu (Asturies) and we could enjoy the beech trees at one of the most beautiful time of year when newly opened buds give way to deep green leaves, they only stay for a few weeks.
The forests are clean faye and clear, that unlike the oak tend to have cleared the ground with little understory. This garden gives them a completely different from other forests located at lower altitudes, which as Carbayeda have a greater presence of other species that will give these courses a more tangled.
an hour from the siding where we left the car on the road to Tarna, we arrive at the L'Mayada Ablan, where you can enjoy stunning views of Osu l'Cantu The black and Monte Cuito Fabucao. Thereafter, the track up the valley will take us another hour journey, very gentle and always within the forest.
The trail frequently crosses paths with small rivulets descending from the mountains and that these dates are still spring snowmelt, but soon dry up. In these shady, moist areas abound amphibians such as salamanders and frogs Dartford vermilion.
As we approach the meadow, the forest opens and in many of the clear look of old fallen logs faille, some huge, probably the wind has dropped after that its trunk had rotted from within.
The valley opens into a wide and long valley surrounded by mountains, some of which still remains from the snows of winter. On one side, including brooms, runs the Arroyo de Vegapociellu who maintains a small trout population, which surely has been introduced by the pastors for decades. These translocations of trout from the lower reaches of head to Las Vegas was a common practice for years and gave them to the shepherds an additional source of food during the summer months. Many of these trout populations disappeared when they stopped releasing fish, but some, as in many rivers in the Picos de Europa and Network, managed maintained over time without further external assistance.
is true the saying that the forest often prevents us from seeing the trees, so it was worth it when we returned to the car to look at some impressive specimens that we were leaving behind. Some faille and huge oak trees several meters in diameter and several hundred years old, many still alive, although with hollow logs and other already dead but still standing, twisted and broken as if someone or something had wroth with them .
