	About Estepona .com - About Estepona .com: Estepona Natural Parks
		The most showy of the flora is the presence of forests of Spanish fir.
		Its greatest treasure are its conifer forests dating back to the tertiary period, featuring the Spanish fir, the most unusual species of fir in the world.
		In the mountain peaks, where precipitation and fog are common, large numbers of gall oaks and Spanish firs are to be found.

	Fir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Firs (Abies) are a genus of between 45-55 species of evergreen conifers in the family Pinaceae.
		Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the fact that their needle-like leaves are attached to the twig by a base that resembles a small suction cup, and by erect, cylindrical cones 5-25 cm long that disintegrate at maturity to release the winged seeds.
		The wood of most firs is considered inferior, and is often used as pulp or for the manufacture of plywood and rough timber.

		Abies are commonly known as Fir trees and belong to Pinaceae, a section of the Conifer family, Coniferae.
		Firs may be distinguished from Spruces by their standing cones; cones of the Spruce are pendant.
		Young Fir trees are very sensitive to light, so they need to be shaded from strong, direct sun until they are two or three years old.

	Spanish Pin Fir - PenyaSeeds.com
		"Spanish Pin Fir is an evergreen conifer with broadly conical sweeping branches in regular intervals around the trunk that usually form a symmetrical crown.
		The twigs on this fir are brownish-green, hairless and very stiff as well.
		Also called soap fir, since twigs crushed in water yield a kind of soap.

	Ronda - THE STAIR'S SPANISH FIR
		Located at the Spanish fir forest of Cerro Alcojona and next to the way of Las Lajas, this important way connected formerly the meadows of río Verde (Green river) to Ronda and to the Genal Valley.The position of the limestone plattforms, as if they were steps, gives the name to this tree.
		Due to its dimensions it seems as if the Spanish firs were older as they really are, but to tell the truth, they are not so old as the yew trees or the cedar trees.
		This kind of Spanish fir is included at the Natural Monuments' Catalogue of Andalusia, made by the Environmental Department of the Regional Government of Andalusia.

		The silver firs are natives of the temperate parts of the northern hemisphere, usually occurring in mountainous regions ; attaining high elevations towards the south, as in Guatemala, Algeria, Himalayas, and Formosa; and descending to low levels in the extreme north, as Alaska, Labrador, and Siberia.
		The fir grows here on a talus, composed of sharp angular white limestone stones ; and the contrast between the dense mass of green foliage of the tree and the pure white ground from which it springs, is remarkably beautiful.

	Abies pinsapo. Spanish Fir
		Scotch fir, for example, belongs to Pinus, not to Abies.
		What fir meant to King James is open to discussion; his translators used the word to render the Hebrew brosh, which today means cypress.
		In fact fir and quercus are themselves related (as are four and quattuor).

	A guide to the geography, climate, landscape, and wildlife of Grazalema
		The most widespread vegetation form is the 420 hectares of Spanish Fir Abies Pinsapo which is a relic that has survived since the last ice age.
		Spanish fir are mostly found on the Northern slopes of El Pinar (accessible by footpath) but some smaller groups and younger examples can be seen on the road between Zahara de la Sierra and Puerto de las Palomas (this is a tarmac mountain pass).
		The Spanish Fir, Grazalema poppy (Papaver rupifragum) and an endemic fern (Asplenium petrarchae subsp bivalens) each are in the Red List of Endangered Species.

		The Spanish fir tree is a species which is protected by the law as it in danger of disappearing, as the forests only reach an area of 2.500 hectares, although 2.000 hectares of these forests are in the Sierra de las Nieves.
		The Spanish fir is a tree with great beauty and stature, admired by all mountaineers and botanists, as it is a very rare species.
		In the Natural Park of Sierra de las Nieves three large Spanish fir tree groves co-exist, the one in Sierra de las Nieves, between Quejigar and the Encina gully; the one in Yunquera, between the Cañuelo gully and the Picacho foothills, and the one in the Sierra de Alcojona foothills.

	Wildlife of Grazalema, Andalucía - Flora & Fauna - Birds, Butterflies & Flowers
		Of greatest botanical significance, however, is the relict Spanish fir forest - the pinsapar - which here covers around 420ha on the shady north-facing slope of the Sierra del Pinar.
		In total some 40 species of mammal are known to inhabit the park, while amphibians (11 species) and reptiles (17 species) are also well-represented, including Bedriaga's skink and west Iberian painted frog, both of which are Iberian endemics.
		Around the 1103m Puerto del Boyar (on the A-372) you could expect to find Spanish fritillary, Lorquin's and false baton blues, with dusky meadow brown, purple-shot copper (here subspecies boyarensis) and African grass blue later in the year; other blues to look out for around Grazalema are osiris, Iolas and green-underside.

	Birdwatching and botanical holidays in Grazalema with The Travelling Naturalist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Grazalema is perhaps best-known for its relict Spanish fir forests, but is also home to around 1,300 kinds of vascular plant (including around 30 orchids), as well as more than 220 species of vertebrate, notable among which are Spanish Ibex and the cliff-breeding bird communities.
		During the week we will be exploring the limestone rock gardens, pastures, Spanish fir forests and dehesas of cork and western holm oak of the Grazalema Biosphere Reserve (53,459ha).
		The thick Spanish fir forests are home to little more than Bonelli's Warbler, Iberian Chiffchaff and Short-toed Treecreeper, but our visit to this habitat is likely to be enlivened by sightings of the splendid Spanish Ibex and by sword-leaved and red helleborines, as well as the lovely peony Paeonia coriacea.

	LONG TREE TRAIL
		Some authorities believe this plant to be closely related to the silver fir that occurs in Morocco.
		If, however, taken as a distinct, there are just three sites in the world where the species exists naturally, on mountains around Rionda in Spain, making it a Spanish endemic and an endangered species.
		Its needles are radially spreading and the cones, 10-15cm long, are purplish brown when young; as with many silver firs, the cones are especially beautiful.

		In the Sierra del Pinar, the best Spanish fir of the country grows which is a vegetation relic of the terciary period, an authentic living fossil Spanish fir which only grows on land over 1000 above sea-level.
