Sierra Salvada (Basque: Gorobel) is a mountain range situated to the northwest of Burgos (Spain), and it is also part of Alava and Orduña (an enclave on Biscay).
The southern slope of this mountain range, whose rivers flow to the mediterranean sea, is included in the province of Burgos.
However, the north slope is part of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Sierra Salvada is famous because of its peculiar shape, created by its north steep slope, 25 km (16 mi) in length, and because of its biodiversity,[1] That is why Sierra Salvada is considered a Special Protection Area (SPA), in order to protect the different species of birds.
Sierra Salvada is known through its limestone area and the speleological researches done there by the caving groups.
