The Sierra de Almijara is a mountain range in the provinces of Granada and Málaga in southern Spain.

The rocks are mainly marble, giving a white or gray color to the narrow ridges and deep ravines.

[3] The Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park covers 40,657 hectares (100,470 acres).

[5] The mountains contain narrow ridges separated by deep valleys cut by the streams and rivers, resulting in many small sub-basins.

Pliocene sediments exposed in the northwest of the Granada basin were washed down by the Cacín from the Alpujarride reliefs of the Almijara/Tejeda.

Weathering in some areas has resulted in sands of almost pure dolomite crystals with very little clay, and in stony ground of partially altered marbles.

Erosion due to the steep slopes, lack of vegetation and fires prevent the soil from developing.
