For other uses of this term, see Hacho.
The Hacho pine forest is a peri-urban park in Andalusia located in an area close to the town center of Antequera (province of Málaga, Spain), of which it is the natural setting closest to the south-east. It was declared on March 21, 2003 and has an area of 84.7841 hectares.
The majority of the area of the Hacho pine forest is covered by a reforested pine pine forest about 40 years old. The accompanying plant communities of the pine forest correspond to the subseries of scrub and pasture that characterize the area according to its biogeographical location. A dominant paraclimatic community consists of the pine pine forest, which has replaced the climactic basophilic Holm oak.
The wild fauna of the space appears dominated by the animal communities of the mediterranean forest of low mountain conifers, as well as the ruderal and anthropogenic, given the proximity to the urban center of Antequera. As regards the landscape, it presents remarkable landscape conditions that give it an interesting value both intrinsic and extrinsic. It is particularly interesting the panoramic view that can be seen from the Pinar on the whole plain of Antequera from the northern edge of the area, reaching also excellent views over the city.
The proximity of the natural area to the city of Antequera and the natural values it contains make it very used by its inhabitants as a leisure and recreational area. Finally, it is worth highlighting the existence of archaeological sites linked to this space, two of them cataloged as type I by the PGOU, which are the Torre del Hacho and the Arquillo de los Porqueros, as well as a third type III archaeological site. p>
The space is crossed by the livestock route from Antequera to Malaga, being a cord with a legal width of 37.50 m that facilitates access to space, contributing to its sporting, recreational, didactic and livestock use. Bibliography
