Peñón del Cuervo

Peñón del Cuervo, Rock formation at Mediterranean beach in Málaga, Spain.

Peñón del Cuervo is a rock formation about 46 metres long, up to 28 metres wide and 12 metres high, standing a few metres off the shore of the beach that bears its name in eastern Málaga. It splits the roughly 350-metre-long beach of dark sand into two sections and can usually be reached on foot.

The sources record no military or lookout history for the Peñón del Cuervo; the rock is documented as the formation that gives the beach its name and splits it in two. It measures 46 metres long, up to 28 metres wide and 12 metres high, and stands a few metres offshore, usually reachable on foot. The beach itself is an isolated stretch of dark sand about 350 metres long and 25 metres wide, between El Candado and La Araña in Málaga's eastern district.

The beach takes its name from the rock that splits it in two. Locals hold moragas here: night gatherings of friends with bonfires, food and drink. The wooded park has a controlled barbecue area and picnic tables with benches.

The beach lies between El Candado and La Araña beaches on Málaga's eastern coast, about 350 m long and 25 m wide on average. The rock sits a few metres offshore and can usually be reached on foot. The surrounding park has a controlled barbecue area and a picnic zone with tables and benches.

The rock is a biological site because it hosts Limonium malacitanum, the Málaga sea lavender, a plant endemic to the coast of Málaga province. It grows on the rock itself, a few metres from the sand, which the beach's name comes from. The rock measures 46 m long, up to 28 m wide and 12 m high, and usually can be reached on foot.
