Centro de Interpretación Dehesa de Corduente
About This Museum
Forget the stuffy museums; this place is your living room for understanding the Alto Tajo. It doesn't just tell you about this wild, river-slashed landscape—it throws open the doors and lets the outside in. The vibe is instantly welcoming, a perfect pitstop that makes you feel smarter about the dramatic scenery you're about to explore. You arrive curious and leave feeling like you're in on the park's best-kept secrets.
Collection Highlights
You'll find wonderfully tactile displays, like a massive topographic model of the entire park that helps you trace your own route. I was fascinated by the collection of animal tracks and feathers, turning a simple forest walk into a detective game. Don't miss the section on traditional shepherd life; it gives such a profound respect for the human history woven into these hills.
Visitor Information
It's right there on the CM-2015 road, making it an impossibly easy and essential first stop before you dive into the park proper. Pop in, grab a map, use the facilities, and let the helpful staff point you toward a hidden gorge or a quiet hiking trail you'd otherwise miss.
Architecture & Building
The building is low-slung and rustic, built from wood and local stone so it feels like a natural extension of the dehesa woodland it sits in. With its big windows and inviting porch, it’s designed to blend rather than impress.
