Sierra de Huértor

Sierra de Huértor is set in Granada province, close to the towns of Huértor de Santillán, Cogollos Vega, Diezma, Beas de Granada, Nívar and Viznar.

This open space is noted for its botanical importance and the Mediterranean type fauna, that includes protected species, for example the golden eagle and wild cat. The fauna of the area also includes reptiles, little owls and tawny owls, blackbirds, robins, warblers and partridges, amongst other species. The botanical importance of Sierra de Huértor cannot be disputed, since besides the presence of oaks, maples and gall-oaks, numerous local and North African endemisms can be encountered.
