Protected Natural Environments in Málaga Province

Malaga's largest park is the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, which straddles the Malaga-Granada provincial border and includes the dramatically beautiful mountainous region of the Axarquía, with some superb walks. At weekends, inhabitants of Malaga city escape to the shady pine forests of the Montes de Malaga Natural Park, with its rushing streams and magnificent waterfalls. Perhaps Malaga's most well known protected enclaves are the Torcal de Antequera Natural Area, a spectacularly eroded limestone landscape, and the Fuente de Piedra Natural Area, a saline lake famous for its flamingos that flock here in their thousands every spring.
