Local Natural
Spot “Surar de Pinet - Llutxent”
This
small enclave, located between the towns of Pinet and Llutxent, is the
botanical peculiarity which characterizes the region.
On the one hand, the presence of a small colony of cork oaks (Quercus
suber) gives a particular character to this space. Moreover, this
colony, together with different plant species, forms interesting associations
of forest progression-decline, such as the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster).
On the other hand, there are also several thickets and shrubs, and it
is worth mentioning the only native palm tree to Europe: the palmetto
(Chamaerops humilis). Finally, the existence of oak trees from
Valencia (Quercus faginea) in a nearby ravine completes, without
doubt, the enormous beauty of this space.
