Maps can be obtained from the local tourist offices (Alojamiento) either in the parks themselves or in the nearby town. All the Sierras are well signposted as they are the main tourist attractions in the area.
The Natural parks are locations of great ecological, scientific and educational value. They have ecosystems that have been little altered by man. Together they demonstrate an enormous range of geology and climate, from salt flats and dunes to mountain ranges and woods.
Within the various protected areas are many facilities for the tourist. Such as marked footpaths, recreation areas, camping sites, mountain bike tracks, visitor centres, viewpoints, observatories, information points and areas for free camping. All the parks are easy to get to and are well signposted – just look for brown road signs.
