UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 1977, in Spain. Sierra de Grazalema is located in the limestone massifs shared by the Andalusian provinces of Cádiz and Málaga. It has a typical karst morphology, which gives this protected natural area impressive geological phenomena. Its rainfall, among the highest in the Iberian Peninsula, is a determining factor for the great diversity of ecosystems present in this region and, therefore, its impressive biodiversity.
