Nature Interpretation Center, and its more than 400 m2 dedicated to the care of the species that inhabit it, serving the interest of all people for animals, offering a series of activities in direct contact with them.

Amphibians and reptiles are key species to maintain the balance of ecosystems since they control all those animal populations that are considered pests for human beings, in addition to acting as prey for other predators of the trophic chain, so their disappearance entails major environmental problems.

Amphibians: vertebrates with bare, moist and moist skin, which undergo metamorphosis. Mainly autochthonous species, those that are within their natural distribution area, being able to observe among others: Common green frog (frog prezi), San Antonio frog (Hyla meridionalis); Gallipato (pleurodeles waltl), endemic species of the Iberian Peninsula.

Reptiles: vertebrates with scaly skin, with amniotic eggs that make them independent of water. We find both autochthonous and exotic species, those that are outside their natural distribution (mainly for anthropic reasons).
