Los Olivillos, two rural fincas, high in the mountains accessed by a 20 minute drive along a winding unmade road.
It is a unique base for riding within the "Parque Natural Sierra Tejedas, Almijara & Almara" The area around the ´"fincas" is home to ibex, wild boar, stone martens, foxes, badgers, genet, rabbits, Egyptian vultures, red kites, harris hawks and imperial, golden and Bonelli's eagles.Designated a natural park in 1999, this large and rugged mountainous region of 40,663ha stretches across the provincial border of Granada and Malaga . Its western part in Malaga province is known as the Axarquía and is famous for its attractive villages dating from Moorish times. It is also superb hiking country, It´s numerous steep mountain sides make it ideal for climbers, as its highest peak is La Maroma at 2,080m. Natural parks are locations of great ecological, scientific and educational value as they have ecosystems that have been little altered by man. We strongly recommend you hire a 4X4 vehicle however transport and transfers can be arranged on request.
