Tourist Information Sierra Espuña
The Espuña Regional Park is located in the South-west of the Region of Murcia, encompassing part of Alhama de Murcia, Totana, Aledo and Mula municipalities.
The Park was declared a natural park in 1992 and the Gebas Barrancos were added to this conservation status in 1995, giving a total protected area of 17,804 hectares.The park has a number of visitor areas, picnic areas,lots of signposted walks, restaurants, flora and fauna, making it an attractive place to enjoy a day out or holiday in shaded pine forest surroundings.
Geologically, it belongs to what is known as the Betic Cordillera domain, a prelude to the mountains of the Northwest which rise up from the lower levels of the region.
Topographically, the park has three different zones creating a variety of conditions for walkers, cyclists and visitors, making the leisure offering varied, versatile and interesting:
Gebas and the badlands is a unique area located at the foot of the main pine forests, a lunar landscape of gulleys and ravines with the jade green waters of the Embalse de Algeciras, comprising clay and marl which have been eroded over millions of years to create a unique environment.
The Northern and Central areas are extensively forested and clad with green pines, forming the Espuña river basin, crossing East to West,with two deep ravines, or Barrancos, those of the River Espuña and the River Leyva, separated by the peaks of Collado Blanco, Morra del Majal, Morrón de Espuña( the highest point in the park at 1580 metres), Collado Bermejo and Peña Apartada.
The third zone is in the southern part and is formed by the basins of the Barranco de Enmedio and the Rambla de Algeciras.
Within the park lie the Alhama de Murcia pedanías of El Berro and Gebas, offering a number of rural tourism options, and inside the core of a park is a network of established walking routes, picnic areas, hostelries, and the visitor centre, all designed to maximise the enjoyment of visitors to the park. There is plenty of literature available from the visitor centre and included in the various subject headings on the right hand side of the page.
The Ricardo Cordoníu visitor centre is dedicated to the father of the park, the man who spearheaded the project to replant an area deforested by human intervention and provides information about the Sierra Espuña for visitors.
There is a camping site in El Berro and a number of businesses offering overnight accommodation for those wishing to visit the area.
