It wasn't easy, it took me some time but I finally have cards from all the Spanish UNESCO sites. I was only missing one from the beech forests and a few weeks ago I received this one, sent by Jordi, from Tejera Negra, a forest in Castilla-La Mancha.
The beech trees of Tejera Negra became established in ancient times when the climate was colder and wetter. These trees now find refuge in shady valleys and on northern slopes, with fog, wind, rain and hardly any sun.

The Tejera Negra beech forest is one of the southernmost on the continent. It has been awarded the World Heritage designation by UNESCO in 20017.
This unique forest is delimited by the Lillas and Zarzas rivers. The microclimate and isolation of this location have enabled the preservation of the beech groves that give it its name. There are other protected species here in addition to the beech trees, including yew, holly, birch, oak, hazel and pine. The undergrowth consists of heather, broom and thickets. The most iconic fauna of the Tejera Negra beech forest are daytime birds of prey such as golden eagles, red kites and goshawks. Roe deer, foxes, wild cats, martens, badgers, weasels, wild boar and nocturnal birds of prey, such as tawny owls, long-eared owls and little owls, abound. - in: https://www.spain.info
