Valle del Guadalhorce is a beautiful area full of lush green trees and amazing scenery. The river Guadalhorce flows through the Los Gaitanes Gorge to irrigate a fertile valley.
As the valley runs through the mountain range and the Mediterranean forest, the trees come alive with colour. Olive trees, cork oaks, pines and chestnut trees all packed neatly into this amazing area. The landscape rises along the ravine and then climbs where you find Spanish firs and ancient gall oaks grow.
Nearby, the village of El Chorro and the Roman ruins of Bobastro is located here, it’s a great place to stop, visit and maybe have a picnic. The Valle del Guadalhorce is arguably the most committed region for sustainability in the Costa del Sol. This area not only plays an important role as a green area but, has also run several projects and initiatives aiming to protect and raise awareness about the environmental issues we’re facing and sustainability.
Valle del Guadalhorce’s commitment to sustainability stems from the region’s role as a green corridor connecting areas of great environmental importance, such as Sierra de las Nieves national park, Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes and Desembocadura del Guadalhorce. Within this green corridor, there are several places of regional interest located close to the two biggest tributaries of the Guadalhorce River, the Grande and Fahala Rivers.
Valle del Guadalhorce Malaga
Most of the land in this area is used for agriculture and crops such as olives and citrus trees. Over the past decade, the region has seen great growth in organic agriculture, becoming a leader in the field, with more and more organic players occupying the land. 65% of Malaga olives come from this area alone and this will continue to grow as the organic food producers in Valle del Guadalhoce are dedicated to organic agriculture.
One business owner said, “By promoting local organic foods, we can have a positive impact on the land and the areas around us and it will help to counter climate change”.
