The beautiful El Torcal
Malaga is such a popular tourist destination thanks to all its attractions; it is a beautiful city that impresses any person who decides to visit it.

El Torcal, for example, is one of the most beautiful parks not only in Malaga, but in the entire country. El Torcal has one big advantage: it is easy to reach as long as you follow the 3310 road that leads you from Antequera to the original Villanueva; you will only have to drive for 12 kilometers because El Torcal will appear in front of your eyes in its entire splendor.12 kilometers of karst landscape wait for you in the centre of the park, representing one of the most impressive such type of landscape in Europe.
Any nature lover will be charmed by the flora and the fauna of the park: 650 plant species and dozens of animal species live a relaxed life in El Torcal as their environment is protected by law. If you have some luck, you might see rabbits, eagles, falcons, foxes or wild cats.
The fantastic Sierra de Nieves
Sierra de Nieves is another very popular Natural Park in Malaga which you will find in the centre of the region known as Serrania de Ronda. Tourists are always impressed and charmed by the spectacular cliffs, some of which have drops of even 100 meters. Since the earth in this Natural Park is actually limestone, you will see many potholes; one of them occupies the third place on the list of the largest potholes in the world.
Those who love the mountain and adore hiking and climbing will feel just like in heaven when visiting the park because it is a place with a very rugged terrain, many deep ravines and lots of very beautiful gorges and high cliffs.
