Saint Fructus (San Frutos) established himself here as a hermit in the 8th century; a monastery dedicated to him also exists within the park.

The park surrounds the pre-existing villages of Sepúlveda, Sebúlcor, and Carrascal del Río.[1]

It is home to a population of griffon vultures,[3] along with Egyptian vultures, common kestrels, and peregrine falcons.[4]
