Landscape
Malaga, circled by the Montes de Malaga, is one of the three municipal areas in the province, along with Antequera and Ronda. Within the aforementioned mountains, the Santo Pitar peak stands out at 1,020 m. Although the lay of the Mountains is similar, the shape of two valleys divides the landscape into two parts:
The central area is covered in pine trees and evergreen oak, and spreads along the Guadalmedina river basin to the Casabermeja area.
From the source of the Guadalmedina to the western border of Malaga, the mountain range is mainly lower, and there are some olive and almond trees.
The eastern area of the mountains is influenced by the Axarquía area. As well as hills, olive and almond trees, there are vineyards and landscapes singular to Axarquía.
To the south of the mountains, the area where the Hoya de Malaga meets the mountains creates landscapes which are particularly interesting, and towns such as Puerto de la Torre. La Hoya de Málaga is the most typical landscape in the area. It’s a coastal depression which joins the valley of Guadalhorce with the plains of the Guadalmedina Valley through gently rolling terrains from which spring forth many streams. There are also many traditional market gardens here and two particularly interesting areas, one for it’s environmental significance, the mouth of the Guadalhorce, and another of human interest, the coastal front of the city of Malaga, presided over by the port.
