| Popularly known as "La Concha", this beautiful
mountain, with its impressive lines and volumes protects the city, extending as a chain to
the village of Ojén, over which we find the natural reserve "Juanar", with its
hills covered in pines, pinsapos, walnut trees, extensive vegetation including wild
orchids and an animal habitat with specimens of hispanic goat, eagles and royal owls. In
one of its highest points we find the mirador, from where the most spectacular views of
Marbella and its natural surroundings can be seen. This pleasant excursion is completed with a visit to the Parador - Refuge el
Juanar and dending on the season, find refreshment at the bar or in the pool or warm up
next to the fireplace, whilst enjoying the good food of the restaurant and their
specialities in game.
Marbella is by nature green and blue. The contribution to the
ecological wellbeing is visible in the many acres of pine distributed in four areas: The
"Elviria" area, where the beauty and abundance of the pine trees extends to the
sand dunes at the beach. The area called "Puente Palo", situated notheast of the
city, where we find a natural waterfall with an important flow in the winter months, from
there the pine trees extend to "Puerto Alto Rico" where the ascending mountain
path up to "The Cross of Juanar" starts. |
