Insider tips

Bring your own firewood or charcoal, as natural gathering of wood in the surrounding forest is prohibited.

Wear sturdy hiking boots if you plan to continue on the mountain trails beyond the immediate picnic zone.

Check local government fire risk levels before visiting, as authorities frequently restrict the use of barbecue pits during high-temperature months.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to light fires during 'alerta roja' (red alert) days for forest fires, as local forest rangers enforce strict fines.

Good to know

Open year-round, but access to the barbecue facilities is frequently suspended during the summer months due to high fire danger.

Etiquette

Strict 'leave no trace' policy; all waste must be carried out, and noise levels should be kept low to respect the wildlife and other visitors.
