This unique enclosure is one of the very few in the world, where visitors can watch these fascinating animals in their natural environment.

El Torcal is home to four different sub-species of wolves: namely the Iberian, the European, the rare Polar and American Timber wolves. Visitors can join a guided tour, where they can learn more about the habitat and natural behaviour of an animal that is the ancestor of "man's best friend".
