There are many reasons for Adela's connection to nature.

Holm oak (Carrasco) is the most characteristic tree of the Iberian Peninsula. Well adapted to the dry Mediterranean summers, this tree forms dense forest stands on the more favourable lands and sparse bushy formations on the dryer terrains. It is also the more common tree found in the Dehesa, the traditional agrosylvopastoral system at the south west of the Iberian Peninsula. In the past, Holm oak acorns served as human staple food for people.
