Jarapalos Arboretum

Highlight • Forest

The Jarapalos Arboretum is a botanical garden surrounded by nature that is located in the Sierra de Mijas, in the old Jarapalos Nursery. It belongs to the municipality of Alhaurín de la Torre.
The nursery was created in the second half of the 20th century, where stone pine, Aleppo pine and resin pine were grown to reforest the mountains until the end of the 70s. In 2012, thanks to the Platform for the Defense and Health of the Sierra ( PDSS), the design and planting of the arboretum began.

Jarapalos Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you come from the Fuente de Jarapalos, it is well worth walking a little more to contemplate the views of the entire Guadalhorce valley and the Malaga mountains from this viewpoint.
