Location
Monfragüe is a comarca in Spain, i.e. a county, with no administrative role in Extremadura, western Spain.
Monfragüe is famous for its national park by the same name, which is noted for its bird-life. It is situated in the center of a triangle formed by Plasencia, Trujillo and the city of Cáceres within the province of Cáceres. The park runs from east to west along the valley of the River Tagus or Tajo.[citation needed] which cut through a long mountainous ridge, and created a rock face, the Peña Falcon, 'falcon rock' on the western side.[citation needed] On the eastern side is the Castle of Monfragüe. The River Tietar enters the park from the north-east and joins the Tagus just to the east of Peña Falcon. The only village in the park is Villareal de San Carlos (population 28).[citation needed] The park occupies an area of 18,118 hectares.
