Across this threshold lie thousands of h ectares of Mediterranean woodland and scrub, Holm-Oak and Cork-Oak woo ds, vast pinewoods, rivers fringed by Oleander bushes and dense ripari an woodland, hills and knolls dotted with round granite outcrops and g ashed by cliffs, dehesas where fighting bulls graze, groves where silv ery-foliaged Olives grow and fertile farmland washed by the great Guad alquivir. This natural scenario of serried sierras, gorges and plains stages a fascinating daily show of life in Mediterranean ecosystems.
