Ronda is situated in the most north-western part of Malaga province, surrounded by medium-high mountains with a varied fauna and flora.
In the Ronda area we’ll be able to enjoy natural landscapes of great beauty:
El Pinsapo de la Escalereta
Situated next to the path of Las Lajas, an important route that links Rio Verde with Ronda and the Genal Valley. The name comes from the layout of the limestone slabs as steps, which has motivated the name of the tree that dominates in this area. This pinsapo is the biggest in the mountain range with a trunk circumference of 5.10 metres, with an age between 350 and 550 years and surviving from the middle ages to our days.
Cañon de la Buitreras
It has been declared an Andalusian Natural Monument in 2003 and hosts amongst its fauna the griffon vulture which nest in its walls, giving it its name. This canyon has been formed by the Guadiaro river that has been eroding the terrain over the passage of the centuries.
The Royals of Sierra Bermeja
Sierra Bermeja is situated to the southwest of the Ronda mountain range, protected since 1989 as a Natural Landscape. It hosts a very abundant flora and fauna with pine trees, junipers, cork trees and amongst its animals we must highlight the Eagle Owl and the common Hawk.
Sierra Bermeja receives the colour’s name from its red rocks.
Sierra de Libar
An area of great geological interest with the presence of oak woods and a wide variety of fauna. It has a very attractive scenery.
Guadiaro River Valley
There is a part of this natural area that is included inside the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. It hosts oak woods, cork oaks, chestnut trees and its fauna hosts foxes, wildcats, roe deer and an important group of birds of prey.
