Tajo del Águila

Tajo del Águila is a natural landscape featuring steep cliff faces and rocky formations in Andalusia, located near Los Alcornocales Natural Park. The cliffs rise prominently above the surrounding countryside and shape the character of the region.

The rock formations developed millions of years ago through tectonic movements that shaped the landscape of Cadiz province. These ancient geological processes created the structure visible at this location today.

The place is woven into local farming life, where residents raise livestock and work the surrounding land. The area shows how people have adapted to living and working in this hilly terrain for generations.

The location has marked hiking trails and viewing points where visitors can explore the landscape. Parking is available near the entrance, within easy reach of the local camping area.

From a viewpoint here, three geographical features are visible at once: El Tempul mountain, the Guadalcacín reservoir, and the white village of Algar below. This view connects geology, water management, and human settlement in a single panorama.
