The landscape here is dominated by great craggy outcrops of rock, from the heights of the Serranía de Ronda to El Torcal near Antequera and the Sierra de las Nieves. The rock is a mixture of sandstone, clay and marl, this mixture I guess being responsible for some of the most eye-catching rock formation. Clay and sandstone alternate so the landscape is moulded by wind and rain, making it fertile agricultural land. 5 to remember
