Ronda nature Information
Nature
Almost all the mountain district of Ronda belongs to what
is called wet Andalusia, and this enhances the variety and
distinction of its landscapes. This is a district which seems
to be there to help us to appreciate nature. The Sierra de
las Nieves Reserve, covering 16.000 forest, including that
distinctive variety of fir known as the Spanish fir, a true
botanical relic from the Terciary Period. Craggy mountains,
chasms, caves and sheer ravines are the dominant features
of this park. The Gesm abyss, for example, is over 1,100 metres
deep and is considered to be third deepest in the world.
To the south of the district of Ronda, separating it from
the sea, are the Sierra Bermeja, also a refuge for the Spanish
fir, and the Sierra Crestellina, a heaven for vultures and
near to the charming village of Casares. These and other nearby
sierras and valleys, such as the Sierra del Algibe and the
Valle del Genal are unforgettable places for cavers, hikers
and nature lovers in general.
