Province and Villages - Malaga - Ronda - Nature
Ronda natureAlmost 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 km² of forest, including that distinctive variety of fir known as the Spanish fir, a true botanical relic from the Tertiary 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 haven 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. |
