The terrain that separates Archidona de Villanueva del Rosario has some rather peculiar geomorphology and flowers. Karst processes related to gypsum outcrop, have created caves, springs, and many sinkholes or dolines covered in vegetation made of oak forests on the mountain sides and cereal crops and olive grove on flat land. Moreover, while going through the Marín Stream ravine (Hoz del Arroyo Marín) you will be able to admire a ravine in the shape of half moon with with the only native holm oak forest in the province of Málaga.
