The Duratón River, tributary of the Duero River, shelters one of the most beautiful animals of the Iberian Peninsula, the Griffon vulture. Dozens of vulture nests hide between its ravines becoming one of the major vulture colonies of the peninsula.
- Griffon vulture:
Smaller than the black vulture, the tawny vulture is the most common of the Spanish vultures. It reaches a wingspan of 280 cm and can weigh up to 7.5 Kg. Its favourite nesting place are the rocky ravines such as the ones found in San Miguel de Burney, where more than 200 pairs of vultures have settled forming one of the biggest colonies in our country.
You will also observe on the riverbanks a splendid natural ecosystem made up of numerous willows, alders, ash trees, wild rose bushes, etc...
