The Sierra de las Nieves is located in the extreme southwest of the Betic Cordillera, forming part of the highest portion of the Serranía de Ronda (Málaga), constituting the highest mountains in western Andalusia, with the 1919 meter high Torrecilla Peak. . Its strategic geographical location, together with its particular geological and orographic conformation, and the consequent complexity of the substratum, makes the vegetation characterized by its high diversity. The Sierra de las Nieves is an important

refuge for wildlife. In it are located, fundamentally, typical species of medium and high mountains.

The name of the place is due to the presence of snow on its high peaks, which was formerly maintained throughout the year and was stored in the snowfields to be distributed during the summer by the towns of the province.
