Peñón de Zaframagón, Nature reserve in Sierra de Cádiz, Spain.
Description
Peñón de Zaframagón is a limestone formation rising roughly 600 meters with vertical cliffs that act as a natural boundary between Seville and Cádiz provinces. The site is designated as a protected area and holds ecosystems typical of this region.
History
The area received official protection status in 1992, marking an important step in Spain's efforts to safeguard natural spaces. This action helped preserve the fragile landscape and its wildlife for future generations.
Culture
The place connects with the Vía Verde de la Sierra, a former railway converted into a walking trail that shows how old infrastructure blends into natural spaces. Visitors experience how people and nature share this landscape.
Practical
Visitors can access the area starting from kilometer 52.5 of the former railway route, where several trails begin. The terrain suits hiking and bird watching, with the warmer months being the best time to explore.
Did you know?
The reserve holds Andalusia's largest colony of griffon vultures, which breed and nest within the vertical walls of the limestone cliffs. These birds of prey are easy to spot for visitors, especially in the morning when they rise from their nesting sites.
