Pinar de Cánava
The Pinar de Cánava is a forest that forms part of the Sierra Mágina Natural Park. Of its 120 specimens of pine, the Aleppo pine dominates. The forest is renowned for the longevity of its trees, with many between 100 and 250 years old. As well as being of great scientific and educational value (demonstrating the pine lifecycle), the forest is an important habitat for species such as the wood pigeon and Bonelli’s eagle. The forest also offers visitors beautiful panoramic views of the Sierra Mágina, the Campiña de Jaén olive grove and various towns including Jimena, Torres and Albanchez de Mágina. Declared an Andalusian Natural Monument.
