PLANS are under way to double the amount of protected land in Malaga province by January 2016.
The Junta de Andalucia has announced that six new ‘special conservation areas’ will be added to the province’s 80,000 hectares of protected land.
These include the Sierras and Real Bermeja in Estepona, the Sierra Blanca in Marbella, the Camarolos mountains between the Axarquia and Antequera, the Genal river valley in Ronda, the Sierra Blanquilla in Yunquera and the Corbones River which borders Sevilla province.
