Introduction

At this level, the black pine country begins, which can reach 2,200 meters. In fact, where there is none, it is because the man has cut them favoring pastures. Here, you coexist with the red pine that, in fact, when the weather is more favorable, it becomes dominant. The red pine has been planted to obtain wood, as well as some black pines at low levels, but the latter is a spontaneous tree. Underneath it, the mushrooms (ceps, rossinyols and rovellons), are the most precious mushrooms we can find.
Young shoots are infused for respiratory diseases. The wood is of very good quality and is used in construction; Also for sound resonance boxes in musical instruments.
