Sierra de Grazalema – Cadiz Province
Altitudes range from 287m in the El Bosque area to El Torreon at 1,654m, also the highest point in Cádiz. Its overall appearance is very dramatic, an abrupt and rocky landscape consisting of irregular saw tooth shapes separated by high altitude meadows and lakes.
Serrania de Ronda – Malaga Province
The Serrania region stretches from Ronda into the northern parts of the Sierra de las Nieves and the Genal valley with altitudes ranging from 1,200m to 250m.

Sierra de las Nieves – Malaga Province
Altitudes range from 200m in the rio verde to 1,919m at the peak of Torrecilla, the highest point in Malaga. The overall appearance is of a vast big mountain environment with soaring peaks and deep canyons. January and February see the higher peaks and the central zone become snow bound.
Genal Valley - Cadiz Province
The Genal valley occupies an area of approximately 30,000 hectares and lies at the north western boundary of Malaga and the southern boundary of Cádiz; Stretching from Ronda to Estepona.
In contrast to the predominantly dry and arid nature of most of Andalucia the Genal valley is a lush wooded landscape with a more tropical micro climate. The high humidity often hangs in the morning air as mist, at this time the Genal valley is more akin to central American cloud forest than southern Europe.
Ardales – Malaga Province
The park consists of a series of huge turquoise lakes set in magnificent mountain scenery. The area spans the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves the natural environments of the Guadalhorce reservoirs, the gorge of Gaitanes and El Chorro.
Unique to El Chorro are phenominal rock formations and the El Chorro gorge; 3km long, 400m deep but only ten meters wide; real Indiana Jones material.
