Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja

The splendid amphitheatre of the Betica mountains which dominates the Costa del Sol from Marbella to Estepona, this area, composed of 1,236 hectares of crystalline rocks perforated by a powerful eruptive mass featuring an abundance of seams rich in platinum, is an important forest zone with a number of endemic species, notably a forest of Spanish firs.

In addition to the Spanish fir, there are forests of black pines, gall oaks and a number of endemic species.

Most important among the mammals are the mountain goat, deer and mongoose. Birds of prey include the Hieraetus pennatus, common falcon, sparrow hawk and golden eagle.
