Where history intertwines with nature
Natural and Cultural Treasure of the Murcia Region
It was the first mountain to be sighted by navigators approaching the Iberian Peninsula on their way to the Pillars of Hercules from the southern Mediterranean route. Tradition has it that this is the origin of its name, which was derived from the Spanish word for "Spain", a mountainous group of deep valleys and slopes that extend to the rivers Pliego, Mula and Guadalentín, in the center of the Region of Murcia.
In its shelter extends a territory that houses natural areas of great value and historical anthropic landscapes shaped by the different cultures and civilizations that have inhabited the Territory Sierra Espuña through millennia.
Sierra Espuña is the most emblematic Protected Natural Area in the Region of Murcia, concentrating a high and interesting representation of biodiversity and a great variety of landscapes ranging from extensive forest areas, the result of a large hydrological-forestry restoration carried out between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to the desert environments of the Protected Landscape of the Gebas Ravines.
