	Cordillera Real
		The Baetic Cordillera is home to a number of Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub plant communities, including shrublands, oak woodlands, broadleaf forests, and coniferous forests, which vary with elevation, soils, and topography.
		The cordillera, together with the Rif Mountains of Morocco which face the Baetic Cordillera across the Alboran Sea, is one of the Mediterranean basin's ten biodiversity hotspots, known to ecologists as the Baetic-Rifan complex.
		The Baetic mountains are home to a rich assemblage of Mediterranean plants, including a number of relict species from the ancient laurel forests, which covered much of the Mediterranean basin millions of years ago when it was more humid.

		The principal rivers rise in the Iberian Mountains and on the meseta Streams originating in the Baetic Cordillera and the intermediate sierras between it and the meseta are found only in the southwest.
		The highest peaks of the Baetic Cordillera are in the Sierra Nevada, where a height of 11,411 feet is reached in the Mulhacen, highest in Spain.
		The highlands of the Bactic Cordillera have individual characteristics, and the height and the different exposures of the slopes are factors that influence the climatic conditions.

		Several mountains border the plateau: the Cantabrian Mountains (Cordillera Cantábrica) on the north, the Iberian Cordillera (Sistema Ibérico) on the northeast and east, the Sierra Morena on the south, and the lower mountains of the Portuguese frontier and Spanish Galicia on the northwest.
		In the southeast the Baetic Cordillera (Sistema Penibético) runs broadly parallel to the coast to merge with the mountains of the Iberian System.
		Offshore in the Mediterranean, the Balearic Islands represent an unsubmerged portion of the Baetic Cordillera.

		All of these were originally salt-steppes, and, where the soil is still highly impregnated with salt, have only a sparse covering of shrubs, mostly members of the Salsolaceae, with thick, greyish green, often downy leaves.

	Science Fair Projects - Alboran Sea
		The Gibraltar Arc is made up of the Baetic Cordillera of southern Spain and the Rif Mountains of Morocco.
		These mountains, known to ecologists as the Baetic-Rifan complex, are one of the Mediterranean's biodiversity hotspots; like the Alboran sea, the Baetic-Rifan complex is a transition between the Mediterranean and Atlantic (Macaronesian) ecologies.
		The moderating influence of the Atlantic has allowed many species in the Baetic and Rif mountains to survive the climactic fluctuations of the last few million years that caused them to become extinct elsewhere around the Mediterranean basin.

		Around its edges are a number of elongated mountain ranges: the Cantabrian Mountains (north), the Iberian Cordillera (east), and the Sierra Morena (south).
		The Meseta Central is divided in half by the Sistema Central, a series of mountain ranges that rise near Madrid.
		The Sierra Nevada mountains, part of the Baetic Cordillera in the south, rise even higher: Mulhacén is 3482 meters tall.

		The coastline is dominated by the bays of Palma and d'Alcudia in the North East and in total the coastline covers some 344 miles of breathtaking landscapes, from the calas (coves) littered bays covering the South and North East around Deia and Soller where the mountains run into.
		This part of Mallorca is part of the Baetic Cordillera, a range of mountains, which runs from Ibiza in the South West through Majorca to the Spanish mainland and Andalucia and Cadiz.
		Majorca is perhaps even more renowned for the abundance of fine sandy beaches and in total you will find some 76 beaches, 25 of which hold the blue flag status for being of superior quality, clean and well

	Spanish and Portugese Reconquest
		Peter II of Aragon-Catalonia (1196-1213), furthermore, supported Alfonso in this crisis by reconquering the rugged highland district of Rincón de Ademuz in the Iberian cordillera, thus relieving pressure on Castile from the east.
		Following Ya'qûb al-Mansûr's death in 1199, his much less able successor Muhammad an-Nâsir (1199-1213) was content to maintain a truce with Alfonso, so that the Castilian monarch was relatively free to commence preparations for an international crusade to regain the initiative lost at Alarcos.
		Solidly ensconced in the Sierra Nevada and outlying ranges of the Baetic Cordillera, the Nasrid commonwealth was a formidable military nut to crack.

		The many violent foldings of the Tertiary era took place at the expense of this very ancient Mediterranean, much larger than the present one.
		All the mountains, from the Baetic Cordillera to the Rif, the Atlas, the Alps and the Apennines, the Balkans, the Taurus and the Caucasus, were heaved up out of the ancient sea.
		They reduced its area, raising from the great sea bed not only sedimentary rocks-sands, clays, sandstones, thick layers of limestone-but also deeply buried primitive rocks.

		Though receiving the highest annual rainfall in all of Spain, the Sierra de Grazalema (at 5,000 feet or so) are too low to get much more than a dusting of snow in the winter and the climate is considered Mediterranean.
		For skiing one must head about 120 miles east to the Sierra Nevada, another range within the 360-mile-long Andalucian mountain system known as the Baetic Cordillera.
		A short drive east of Grazalema you'll come to Ronda, whose spectacular gorge and fine architecture illustrates Andalucia's multilayered history, including a Moorish palace and baths, a stunning Roman theater on a bald hilltop nearby, and the Cave of Pileta's Paleolithic relics and cave paintings.

	Epilogue, Society Organized for War
		The Andalusian towns which remained in contact with the Muslim frontier of the principality of Granada maintained active armies which continued both to fight border skirmishes with Granadan forces and to join royal armies for larger expeditions against the Nasrid dynasty and their occasional North African allies.
		Protected by the crests, ridges, valleys and passes of the Baetic Cordillera, the Muslims would stand their ground for two more centuries before a determined ten-year campaign led by Fernando and Isabel crushed the last resistance and allowed the royal couple to receive the keys of the Alhambra from the last emir.
		While the older militias of the Meseta were largely isolated from this two-century conflict, they did find periodic outlets for their capabilities in the various brotherhoods which formed to protect municipal interests against the turbulent forces which buffeted the Castilian monarchy during the Later Middle Ages.

		Their lower slopes cloaked in dark pine forests, these rocky crags rose to 5,000 feet, on the same scale as the Appalachians.
		They form the westernmost range in the 360-mile-long fishbone-like chain of mountains across southern Spain known as the Baetic Cordillera, while the 12,000-foot Sierra Nevada anchor the eastern end.
		With the highest rainfall in all of Spain cascading down in short, intense bursts followed by the warm Mediterranean sun, the Sierra de Grazalema are known for their rich variety of bird and plant life, and especially the rare Spanish Fir, a relic of the Tertiary period.
