It will take about 20 years for the Saler de Valencia to recover from one of the worst fires in its history

The article discusses one of the worst wildfires in the history of El Saler, a natural area located eight kilometers from Valencia city center. This Mediterranean forested area, known for its dense vegetation of cork oaks, junipers, and palm trees, has been repeatedly affected by fires in recent decades. The latest fire, suspected to be intentional, destroyed 36 hectares, making it one of the most severe incidents since the 1986 disaster that impacted around 40 hectares. Forest engineer and professor Eduardo Rojas from the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia estimates that recovery could take up to 20 years. Opposition groups criticize the local government's prevention policies.
