Sierra de Baza

This large mountain has peaks 2,200 metres high, and stands on the arid plain Las Hoyas de Guadix-Baza that is fairly arid. It is relatively fertile and its vegetation includes several types of pine, with holm oak and, on the higher areas, gall oak, maple and stands of mountain ash. The park is home to nearly a hundred endemic species exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula, such as the rare dianthus, immortelle and primrose. Fauna includes numerous species of birds of prey, badgers, wildcat and genet.
