Christmas picnic under the Andalusian Pinsapo fir tree
A pick-nick under an Andalusian pinsapo fir tree with Christmas biscuits and mulled wine, after a wonderful walk through olive plantations and forest on the Juanar plateau, with views of Marbella
The plateau of Juanar offers an amazing variety of landscapes and tree species. From oaks to pines, eucalyptus, olives and chestnut trees, even to a few specimens of the famous Pinapo fir, a botanical rarity that exists only in Andalusia and the reef mountains of Morocco. The color contrast of red earth, the bright rock of the Sierra Blanca in the background, the different green tones of the trees, determines the landscape.
Before our pick-nick, we walk through the forest and through an olive plantation to a viewpoint with a fantastic view over Marbella and the coast. The path is, apart from a few small obstacles at the beginning, easy to walk and very varied
