The three pics above share something, they have all been taken in Sierra Bermeja, the highest mountain of the Costa.
In Costa del Sol we do not just have the sunny beach we're famous for, but lovely mountains as well. In Sierra Bermeja the sights of the whole Costa is amazing. Up there you can visit the "regufio", a house for the lost mountaneers which is always open for the traveller. At weekends it also opens as a bar so you can get a coffee by the chimmeney.
No need to say the jewel of this paradyse is the Pinsapo, a prehistoric tree that still lives here since the last Ice Age. And how comes that a living fosile from that cold time is still living in the sunny Costa? Believe it or not, the back side of Sierra Bermeja (Back as it is facing North and not the sea) is so shady and wet that it reproduces the conditions for these trees to grow.
