Sierra Mágina, Protected mountain range in Jaén Province, Spain

Sierra Mágina Natural Park extends across 19,900 hectares of limestone cliffs and peaks, reaching elevations of 2,167 meters in southern Spain.

During the 13th to 15th centuries, the mountain range formed a natural border between the Muslim kingdom of Granada and Christian territories of Castilla.

The fortified towers of Bélmez and castles of Jódar and Albánchez de Mágina stand as monuments to medieval military architecture in the region.

The park contains multiple species of hardy plants that grow exclusively on its upper slopes, alongside numerous orchids and wild mushrooms.
