Montes de Malaga Natural Park

Very close to the city of Malaga, you can find this park of beautiful landscapes and rich vegetation.

The park is a very rugged massif, with hardly any valleys or plains, until it merges with the Guadalmedina river basin. It is very close to Malaga. It is home to multiple smaller mammals, such as foxes, weasels, badgers, genets, stone martens and polecats, along with the occasional wild boar. Its birds include short-toed eagles, goshawks and booted eagles. And it hosts one of the largest colonies of chameleons in Andalusia. The Aleppo pine is the dominant species among its flora. It alternates with remains of the original Mediterranean forest, composed mainly of holm oak, cork oak, strawberry tree, Kermes oak and mastic. There are other species such as the Monterey pine, the stone pine, the olive tree and the carob tree.
