The Rio Guadalhorce is the largest river in the province of Málaga and flows into the Mediterranean southwest of the city of Málaga. The mouth of the Guadalhorce is an ecologically valuable area and is known as the Paraje Natural Desembocadura del Guadalhorce, a protected nature reserve.

The Guadalhorce is a typical Mediterranean river. It rises in the Betic Cordillera and flows through an agricultural valley. Before its mouth, the river divides into two branches that shape the delta and the lagoon landscape. In the past, there were floods that were mitigated by river regulation and the construction of dams. Nevertheless, the renaturation and protection of the estuary is a focus of regional environmental policy.

The Guadalhorce Estuary, known as the Guadalhorce Natural Park, is a beautiful nature reserve located on the coast of Málaga. This area covers approximately 67 hectares and is an important ecosystem for a wide range of flora and fauna.
The estuary is a refuge for several species of birds, including flamingos, herons and wading birds. It is a popular spot for birdwatchers.
The area is home to a rich variety of plants and trees, including reed beds, saltwater plants and Mediterranean vegetation.
The river splits into several branches before flowing into the Mediterranean Sea, creating several lagoons and wetlands.
The nature reserve is open to visitors and offers walking trails and observation points to enjoy the nature without disturbing it.

Here the Guadalhorce river flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The mouth is made up of two arms, one of them built by the floods (it is artificial), between them a wetland has been formed that constitutes the Guadalhorce Mouth Natural Park. A mandatory visit for everyone who cycles through Malaga.
