Sierra Mágina

The limestone peaks of Sierra Mágina rise to 2,167 meters, featuring steep slopes and Mediterranean flora across 19,900 hectares of protected land.

During the 10th century, the mountains served as a strategic location for Moorish rebels, with multiple fortifications built between the 13th and 15th centuries.

Local communities maintain traditions of olive cultivation and produce oils from trees growing on the mountain terraces at different elevations.

The visitor center at Jódar Castle provides maps, guides, and information about hiking trails, accommodations, and seasonal activities throughout the natural park.

The mountain range contains rare plant species found only in this part of southern Spain, including specific varieties of violets and orchids.
