The Haya de Herguijuela is a large, solitary specimen of European beech growing on an east-facing slope of the Sierra de Francia, near the town of Herguijuela de la Sierra. One of the last relicts of the beech forests that used to exist in the Sistema Central region of Spain, it is also nearly the southernmost specimen of the European beech in Iberia, surpassed only by a similar tree in nearby Cáceres province.
