From autumn until the heat returns, hiking in the mountains is one of the favourite activities that are carried out, both by residents and visitors. Given that the influx is constant, it is very important that a series of recommendations are taken into account to take care of the environment and be respectful of the animals that populate it. It would be desirable to follow these tips:

1.- Always choose marked trails; do not deviate to avoid damaging the vegetation and fauna.

2.- Observe the few animals that are from a prudent distance so as not to disturb them. Do not offer them food so that they do not alter their eating habits.

3.- Collect the waste generated. Bring bags to collect waste and any garbage you find.

4.- Do not light fires. Do not leave forgotten glass bottles that can act as magnifying glasses and cause a forest fire. Avoid smoking and, if you do, extinguish the cigarette butt and pick it up.

5.- If you are accompanied by an animal, use a leash.

6.- Avoid soil erosion as much as possible. Do not travel the paths with bicycles, do not run.

7.- Don't take souvenirs with you: fossils, stones, pine cones, flowers...

8.- If you want to collect a plant, for its medicinal properties, cut it with scissors and do not pull it out by the roots, as you would be fleecing it. You must cut what is strictly necessary so that the remaining plant can recover.

9.- Be very attentive if you are accompanied by children, as there are very toxic plants/trees.

10.- Try to go in small groups

11.- Avoid making excessive noise. Don't shout.

12.- Do not uproot plants or flowers

13.- Participate in clean-up activities. Contribute with donations to organizations that work in the care of the mountain.
