El
Torcal
Situated to the north of the province of Malaga is the sierra of El Torcal which is an extensive area covering 20km of rocks, carved into unusual shapes by natural winds. The winds of thousands of millions of years have made their mark on the limestone giving rise to natural sculptures that have inspired artists for generations and the area has been the subject of many films. The area is one of the region's most important natural places and as a result it was declared a natural park in 1979 in order to protect the wide array of natural
Flora and Fauna.
During your visit you may see a wide selection of wildlife such as rare birds of prey that have been released in the area as a result of conservation projects. It is said that more than 20 species of mammals reside here including a good population of the Spanish ibex. More than 600 varieties of fauna have been identified here, including 30 species of wild orchids, 6 of which are exclusive to El Torcal. There are three routes through the park. The green route is the shortest and easiest; 1,5 km and takes about 30 minutes. The yellow route covers most of the green area, is 2,5 km long and takes you to "Las Ventanillas", The Windows, at 1,200 m for panoramic views of the valley of Malaga. Finally the red route is the longest and most difficult; 4,5 km taking about three hours, with a viewing point 1,339 m high where you can see the whole of the El Torcal Park and the Africa Coastline.
