El Torcal Park Nature Reserve is known for unusual limestone rock formations.
El Torcal is located about 30 km north of Málaga city in the direction of Antequera near the village of Villanueva de la Concepción.
Within El Torcal Park's 17 square km are some of the most beautiful and impressive limestone landscapes in Europe. The whole area was under sea until one hundred million years ago.
Then the violent movements of the Earth's crust forced it upward into hills and mountains up to 1.300 m, the limestone still kept its layered horizontal formation. Because of this, over the millions of years the rain and wind have been able to chisel away at these layers to form incredible shapes.
