Abeto Del Sur

It's time to enjoy sustainable ecotourism in the wonderful landscapes of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park thanks to Abeto del Sur, dedicated entirely to caring for and respect local culture and products. And in order to practice sustainable activities for the environment we form small groups of between 5 and 7 people.

From our headquarters located in the Malaga municipality of Alozaina, we want you to know both the history, environmental aspects and gastronomy of this area. For which we have planned a series of guided off-road routes:

• The tour of the White Villages of Malaga will take us to see the ancient olive trees of Alozaina, the fir forest of Yunquera and the oil mill of El Burgo.

• The journey through the dense fir forests that give character to the Sierra de las Nieves, a fir tree that has presided over these lands since the glacial era of the time and that constitutes the habitat of the mountain goat.

• Travel from one of the organic orchards of the Jorox Valley to the Caminito del Rey Gorge, passing by the El Burgo oil mill.

• The so-called Aloreña Olive Tour will take us through all the necessary enclaves to learn about the production process of the Aloreña, a famous variety of table olive for being the only one with a Protected Designation of Origin.

At the end of all our 4x4 routes, we offer you the tasting of local products as characteristic as Aloreña olives, goat cheese and sweet Malaga wine, or if you prefer we can set up a lunch.

We also prepare customized hiking visits, taking advantage of the network of trails that make up the Sierra de las Nieves and its surroundings, as a sustainable alternative to discover the variety of landscapes, fauna and flora. In this way, we seek for participants to be part of the conservation and development of active tourism that moves so much through the area.

For lovers of hiking, from Abeto del Sur, we give you the possibility of planning tailored routes along the set of paths that run along along the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. Step by step we want local culture, gastronomy and environment to be the pillars of our sustainable tourism.

We are waiting for you in the Malaga municipality of Alozaina, to experience first-hand how the fauna and flora of this ideal place for practicing ecotourism develops. And so that you can soak up every detail, our guide will accompany you.

We give you countless alternatives for hiking through the surroundings of the Guadalhorce Valley:

• Bird photography workshop.
• Route for collecting aromatic plants.
• Aromatherapy study.
• Visit to organic gardens.
• Tours through ancient olive tree farms.
• Ethnography and ethnobotany tour.

You decide the route that best suits your tastes and needs. Are you looking to prepare an excursion with your workers or some type of company dynamics? Are you a representative of an association and are you looking for a trip that is out of the ordinary? Or are you a school that wants its students to strengthen ties with nature?

The Sierra de las Nieves is the environment you are looking for to get lost in its mountainous landscapes thanks to the 4x4 guided routes that we propose from Abeto del Sur . From our headquarters located in Alozaina, we pursue active tourism that is sustainable with the environment, which is why our trips are designed for groups of between 5 and 7 people:

• The route through the fir forests of the Sierra de las Nieve, a species of fir that is also found in Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja and in the Sierra de Grazalema. The Malaga flora is completed by different varieties of shrubs, Aleppo pines and holm oaks. Without forgetting the typical fauna of the Guadalhorce Valley, such as the ibex, the eagle owl, the Bonelli's bird and the golden eagle.

• Tour through the White Towns of Malaga. We begin the journey in Alozaina, where we will visit a field full of ancient olive trees and the Museum of Tools and Customs. Crossing mountainous terrain we will head to the Yunquera firs. We will continue towards the El Burgo oil mill, a municipality where they will teach us the process by which liquid gold, the oil, is obtained.

• Heading to Caminito del Rey. We will ride our 4x4s to enter the Jorox Valley, in Alozaina, a place where they will teach us how an ecological garden with a great tradition works. The next stop will be the El Burgo oil mill. And we will end up taking a tour of the mythical Caminito del Rey gorge.

• And finally the exclusive Aloreña Olive Tour that will take us through the different towns in Malaga that make the existence of the Protected Designation of Origin table olive possible: the Aloreña olive. This tour starts at the Museum of Tools and Customs of Alozaina, includes a view of a fine line of ancient olive trees and ends with a visit to the oil mill of this municipality.

And we will finish all our routes with a full belly, tasting typical products of the area such as goat cheese, Aloreña olives and sweet Malaga wine.
