The Nature Guide to the Andalusian Sierras from Malaga to Gibraltar – Spain

The southern part of the Iberian peninsula is characterised by a rugged mountain chain called the Betic Cordillera. The western part of this chain, between Málaga and Gibraltar, is an area of exceptional natural beauty. It is home to Europe’s largest spider (the Gibraltar funnel-web spider) and Europe’s largest praying mantis plus such famous ‘mini-beasts’ as Monarch butterfly and Spanish scorpion. In addition to all this, the Straits of Gibraltar offer some wonderful whale-watching opportunities.
