Hiking

The candelabra fir, more than 16 meters high, is located just a few meters from the port of Saucillo. It is named for the peculiar shape of its branches. Next to it is a poster that explains the different processes that affect the growth of trees, resulting in extraordinary figures like this Spanish fir.

Hiking

This beautiful old Spanish fir tree is shaped like a candelabra. It is a conifer and only survives in very particular areas of the Serranía de Ronda, between Sierra de las Nieves and Grazalema.
