The explorer who walks along its
different trails will notice beautiful
landscapes in their natural
viewpoints. The singular fauna is
made up of wi!d cats, wild boars,
chameleons, short-toed eagles, but
the most difficult to see is the eagle
owl because of its night habits. It
is the largest bird of prey in the
area.
Visitors not used to trek can also
enjoy views and meals. There are
many picturesque restaurants
known as Ventas where is possible
to taste typical dishes. Those typical
dishes are made up of pork products and local wine, sweet or
semi sweet. That wine comes from
the vines of Malaga's area, plenty
also of winepresses. There are
some very popular ventas such as
Cardenas, El Boticario, Galwey,
built following the traditional way
one century ago. Some of them
have been shelter of Bandoleros.
Other feature of this area is music.
Verdiales is the name of the popular
traditional music. This typical dance
of Malaga is shown above all in the
feast of San Juan, Santiago and
the 28th of December. The most
common sounds are the violin and
the tambourine played by locals
while singing and dancing in the
so-called pandas. The best moment
of a verdiales festival is when
pandas start to pisy one in front
of the other. Traditional rhythms
and choreographies have survived
generation after generation. |
