Maro–Cerro Gordo Cliffs Natural Park

It is on the south-west coast of the province of Grenada, 70 kilometres east of Málaga, and part of the borough of Almuñécar, in Andalusia.

[1] Both the land and the seabed, which preserves rare corals and endangered species, were declared a Natural Landscape in the 1980s by the Autonomous Government of Andalusia.

The flora along the cliffs includes Mediterranean pines, carob, juniper, boxwood, olive and palm trees, while the fauna is most notable for numbers of wild mountain goats, Iberian Ibex.

The reserve is a major attraction for La Herradura's many scuba diving centres and also draws large numbers of nature photographers and birdwatchers.

Personal water craft ("jet-skis") are also banned from all parts of the Protected Natural Area.
