Valle del Guadalhorce

The river Guadalhorce, after gathering the waters of the region of Antequera and crossing the mountain chain for the Gorge of the Gaitanes, it becomes an adult and forms it own valley, that of the Guadalhorce, the most important of Malaga.A valley that is at the same time way and fertile corridor of gardens and peoples, and amphitheatre of saws that contribute with waters, cover and landscape. Gardens splashed with houses of tillage and hamlets, crossed by highways, ways, railroad and channels; gardens that cover the bottom of the valley and climb in bench-covers over summits and small hills; gardens in the end of a landscape of life that fights between the being and the been credit.













To the west of Coín the villages of the valley approach the mountain and contact valley and mountainous country. For Cleaning and Small parrot even they raise the gardens between bench-covers up to the proximities of the villages, but already they come alone among olive trees and drynesses that mark the border between the fertile plaine and the saw. Sierra Alpujata in Monda, of alcornocales that Moratán and Gaimón, at the foot of Sierra Canucha, enter to Tolox and are mixed by pines and chestnut-trees in the “Cerro del Hinojar (Hill of the Hinojar)”.Then, the landscape ascends between old pines for the tremendous ravine of the Forks up to the tops of the mountainous country, to reach the shady ones and plains for which Spanish firs and centenary gall oaks stroll around. And this, travelling friend, also is the Valley of the Guadalhorce.
