Conil. Natural Park

Conil, surrounded by pine forests and the waters of the Atlantic, has, in the natural park of Acantilado (low cliffs) and Pinar de Barbate (pine trees of neighbouring Barbate), the authentic ecological treasure of the region. The forest is in fact man-made, and appeared thanks to a reforestation programme realized at the end of the 19th century, as part of a land retention plan to preserve local beaches and dry land areas.

The Natural Park of the Bay of Cádiz, with approximately 10,000 hectares of terrain, displays the special ecological characteristics of this unique humid/temperate littoral, an effect of both the proximity of the ocean and the prevailing milder Mediterranean climate of Andalucía.

Also nearby, the Natural Park of Grazalema and Doñana.
