La Buitrera is a feeder for vultures that started the fund for the protection of wild animals, in order to reintroduce the Leonado vulture in the districts of Alcoy through the Canyet Project. This project has been developing since 2000 and has managed to achieve a stable colony of griffon vultures that inhabit the farms of Alcoy. Some of these pups have been marked to study their behavior and have been analyzed to know their state of health and to carry out genetic studies later.

This hike begins and ends (optional) in the preventorio where cars are parked. It will last from 2 to 3 hours depending on the physical condition of the walkers.
