Sierra de Mojantes

This is the highest mountain range of Caravaca, being its summit of 1615 m high. This 1483.19 hectares area is protected by SPAB (Special Protection Areas for Birds) due to, mainly, the presence of griffon vultures (Gypsfulvus).

This is a place crammed full of holm oaks, pine, juniper and maple trees, and it is populated by a rich fauna in which highlights griffon vultures, peregrine falcons, owls, screech owls and Spanish goats. The vegetation is defined by woodland and kermes oaks.

It is located in front of Cuerda de la Serreta- other local mountain. Mojantes goes from 1000m above sea level of its plains until 1615m high of its geodesic vertex.

Sierra de Mojantes is accessible from Caravaca de la Cruz heading to Barranda (RM-730 road) until passing this town. Following this road to Puebla de Don Fadrique, the distinctive shape of Mojantes appears a few kilometres away on the right.
