EL TORCAL DE ANTEQUERA NATURE PARK |
|
Torcal de Antequera is a marvellous example of a
karstic landscape, a "calcareous landscape". It is the most
amazing one, not only in Spain, but in all Europe. Its surface area,
including Sierra Pelada, is about 20 sq. km. Torcal Alto, with 8 sq.
km, has passages, spires, towers, walls and the most varied and capriciously
shaped rocks. All of them were formed by the water and the wind over
thousands of years. Words cannot describe this magnificent sight.
The abrupt landscape with its grey and white rocks is a picture to
be remembered. Its flora, which is scarce in summer, flourishes in
spring or after the first rains in autumn. On the fissures of the
high limestone faces or at the foot of the cliffs sprout striking
peonies, brambles, numerous species of indigenous orchids and ivies,
which cover the figures.
Eagles, vultures, kestrels, owls and many smaller birds flyover us.
Lizards, snakes and vipers may be found coming out from under the
rocks. Visitors will not feel let down by El Torcal. El Torcal de
Antequera became a protected area since 1929. |
