    The geological composition of this mountain range is dominated by dolomitic marble, which, with its shades of gray and white, lends the surroundings an unusual appearance. This mountain range boasts a rich botanical diversity, including some endemic species. In addition to various pine species (halepensis, sylvestris, pinea, etc.), there are numerous shrub species such as boxwood, Turkey oak, dwarf palm, cornelian cherry, and wolfberry. Traces of the past are still preserved in the form of a small yew forest, the southernmost on the Iberian Peninsula. The Nerja Cave, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, is one of the main tourist attractions in this area.
