Peñón de Bernal, Protected natural monument in Vícar, Spain

Peñón de Bernal is a limestone massif rising to 755 metres, standing almost 400 metres above the surrounding terrain on the southern slope of the Sierra de Gádor, in the Penibetic system southwest of Almería province. Its summit marks the boundary between the municipalities of Vícar, Dalías and El Ejido.

The limestone massif of Peñón de Bernal originated in the Jurassic period, about 200 million years ago, when the African tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. It is protected as a Natural Monument within Andalusia's Network of Protected Natural Areas (RENPA) and forms part of the Sierras de Gádor y Énix Special Area of Conservation.

The rock formation is a familiar landmark for people living in Vícar and plays a role in how locals connect with their natural surroundings. It serves as a gathering point for those who enjoy outdoor activities and hiking in the area.

Sport climbing and active tourism are banned from May to December, the bird breeding season; only classic climbing on existing routes is allowed with prior authorisation. A cycling route from Vícar leads toward the rock. The summit marks the boundary of Vícar, Dalías and El Ejido.

The flat summit marks the meeting point of the municipal boundaries of Vícar, Dalías and El Ejido. Film crews used the limestone crag as a location for Conan the Barbarian, building the temple of Thulsa Doom with its endless stairway on its slopes.
