Sierra de las nieves - Malaga natural parks
Sierra de las nieves - MalagaSierra de las nieves
Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park (Parque Natural Sierra de las
Nieves) is located at the heart of the natural Serrania de Ronda
region, in the province of Malaga. This mountainous area is punctuated
by deep ravines and spectacular cliffs, such as La Caina, with
a drop of over 100 metres. Furthermore, the limestone nature of
the earth has created a number of potholes, such as the G.E.S.M.,
the world's third deepest at 1,100 metres The highest peak is
Torrecilla (1,919 metres) in the Sierra Blanca de Tolox. Its greatest
treasure are its conifer forests dating back to the tertiary period,
featuring the Spanish fir, the most unusual species of fir in
the world.
Its relief is extremely rugged, with the deep ravines, high cliffs
and gorges characteristic of Alpine folding.
Flora
In the mountain peaks, where precipitation and fog are common,
large numbers of gall oaks and Spanish firs are to be found. At
lower altitudes the holm oak and cork oak thrive. There are also
small collections of madronnos, chestnut trees, yews, maples and
ashes.
Fauna
The area is home to one of Andalusia's largest communities of
mountain goat, one of only two wild species of large hoofed mammal
native to the Park, the other being the deer. Other species such
as the stag and mountain ox have been brought in, the Park providing
them with an excellent habitat. Also to be found here are certain
animal species protected by law, such as the wild cat, golden
eagle and otter, the latter having practically disappeared from
the River Verde. The Pecho Venus Centre for the Recuperation of
Protected Species in Tolox cares for animals which have been harmed.
