Los Alcornocales Natural Park, Natural park in Andalusia, Spain
The park extends over 167,767 hectares from Tarifa to Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, containing deep valleys and dense Mediterranean forests.
Archaeological discoveries demonstrate human presence in the area for over 30,000 years, including cave paintings and Neanderthal remains throughout the park.
Cork harvesting occurs every decade from the park's extensive cork oak groves, supporting local economic activities and traditional production methods.
Three operational centers provide visitor services: Huerta Grande north of Algeciras, El Aljibe near Alcalá de los Gazules, and Cortes de la Frontera.
The park contains forty fern species, including psilotum nudum, which appears exclusively in the southern hemisphere outside this location.
