In addition, it is home to a wide variety of species of birds, reptiles, and mammals, which makes the Sierra de Irta an ideal place for wildlife observation. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, <strong>there are a lot of routes of different levels of difficulty for you to explore it thoroughly<\/strong>.
