Description

The singularity of this corner of Sierra Magina is undeniable: a forest anchored in the past that for years has remained unchanged. A rise to a pine forest that has been preserved in a state very close to the natural one and which, therefore, retains an unusual beauty intact.

This pine was declared a Pinar Natural Monument of Canavas by the Junta de Andalucía on November 23, 2001. It belongs to the municipal term of Jimena, and is one of the few centenary forests of carrasco pine that remain in Andalusia, with specimens up to 250 years. It borders the edge of the limestone mountain massif and the countryside of the Jaén olive groves. On the way we will access unforgettable landscape panorama and we will be able to observe a wide variety of flora and fauna associated with the different areas to be crossed.
