Landscape

Camañas also has a great landscape richness, contrasting the plains of Visiedo, where the cereal is cultivated with the foothills of Sierra Palomera, with intense Carrascales, ravines and rugged terrain.
All this favors hunting conditions, where the quail, rabbit, hare, partridge and wild boar predominate.

The hunting activity, together with the summer seasons, significantly increases the number of visitors in the municipality, making the town an ideal place to live.

In addition, the municipality has facilities for the practice of sports such as indoor soccer, racquetball, tennis, basketball, etc. as well as mountain biking and hiking.
