Introduction

We reach the stream's area of influence. A fresh, humid environment that once again contrasts with all that we've seen so far on the walk in the massif. To our left, the vegetation with wide, deciduous leaves like oaks, hazelnuts trees and the odd willow demonstrate this change in conditions. It is interesting to point out that we can also find laurel. Laurel grows in these places of the coastal mountain range, in the valleys that go down to the sea and are influenced by the wet Eastern winds. Here, in the Les Comes stream, we don't find laurel groves, just the odd laurel bush. On reaching some shady plane trees, a bit further ahead, you'll be able to find a few. Other trees like cork oaks and holm oaks grow much bigger in this place than we're used to seeing at the top of the mountain range.
