Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean

The reserve spans one million hectares of diverse Mediterranean landscapes, including coastal areas, mountains, forests, and marine environments between two continents.

The Mediterranean Biosphere Reserve, established in 2008, marks the first cross-continental protected area connecting European and African ecological systems.

Local communities in both Spanish Andalusia and Moroccan Tingitan Peninsula maintain traditional agricultural methods and fishing practices within the reserve boundaries.

Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entry points in six provinces, with interpretation centers providing information about conservation initiatives.

The reserve contains specific microclimates created by the meeting of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters, supporting rare species found nowhere else.
