Curious forest of yew trees, very dense and of singular forms. The Yew Forest of Broto, located in the Spanish Pyrenees, is a unique and atmospheric forest renowned for its ancient yew trees, some of which are over 1,000 years old. For photographers, it's a stunning location with its mystical, mist-shrouded atmosphere and twisted, gnarled tree trunks. The dense canopy creates soft, diffused light, perfect for capturing intricate textures and dramatic contrasts. Early morning or late afternoon light enhances the forest's eerie, timeless feel. It’s an ideal spot for both landscape and close-up photography, with opportunities to shoot everything from the sweeping, moss-covered forest floor to the towering yews themselves.

Photography Tips

In the Yew Forest of Broto, use a wide aperture (f/2.8 to f/5.6) to focus on tree details and create depth. A tripod is helpful for low light, especially in misty conditions. Use the natural lines of twisted trunks to guide the viewer’s eye, and a polarizer to reduce glare and enhance colors. Early morning or late afternoon light will add atmosphere to your shots. Keep compositions simple to highlight the forest's mysterious vibe.
