Sierra Crestellina

Sierra Crestellina features limestone formations with grey peaks that rise distinctly among the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation and cultivated valleys.

The protected natural area has sustained local communities through generations with traditional activities such as agriculture and livestock grazing in its valleys.

Families in the valley maintain traditional goat herding practices, producing regional cheeses that reflect the agricultural heritage of Málaga Province.

Walking trails throughout Sierra Crestellina provide access to observation points where visitors can view Gibraltar and, during clear conditions, the African coastline.

The limestone ridge hosts the largest colony of Griffon vultures in Málaga Province, alongside other birds of prey including Bonnelli's eagles and peregrine falcons.
