Dehesa

Dehesa is a type of land in Spain. It is a unique environment that combines woodlands with open grassy areas and farming. Dehesa land is used for a variety of purposes like grazing, farming, harvesting firewood, and hunting. The trees on the land provide shelter and food for animals like deer, wild boar, and rabbits. The open grassy areas provide food for sheep and cattle. People also harvest pine nuts, mushrooms, cork, and game animals like partridges and foxes. In the past, people used dehesa land to make charcoal and furniture, but today it is mainly used for sustainable farming.
