The Costa del Sol is a landscape of startling contrasts between the blue and white of the modern, touristic coast and the bright green of the interior, where abundant terraces of tropical crops can be found among breathtaking scenes of indescribable beauty.
The Montes de Malaga Natural Park, the Torcal de Antequera, the gorges and passes of the Sierra de las Nieves (Ronda and Guadalhorce valley), the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park (Guadalhorce valley), Fuente de Piedra salt water lagoon (Antequera) and last not least the Nerja caves are some of the province's rich and ecological areas, where the availability of rural accommodation enables the visitor to live in a veritable paradise on the Costa del Sol.
The rural tourism in Malaga has a great potential, as there are 5 Natural Parks and 6 Natural Reserves.
The crystal clear waters of the lakes at Antequera
A great way of enjoying the nature in Malaga is for instance by hiking, canyoning, speleology, bicycle or canoeing, accompanied by professional guides.
The great amount of mountain ranges in the province of Málaga gave place to the existence of numerous protected natural spaces which cover approximately 50 % of its territory.
Especially outstanding are the Sierra de las Nieves, with an ancient forest of Spanish firs over 3.000 hectares; the salt water lagoon Fuente de Piedra is home to a great colony of Flamingoes; and the Torcal de Antequera where can be seen the most stunning forms that wind and water have carved into the stone. Bordering the province of Granada is situated the Nerja cave with its amazing hallways and chambers.
