The Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park is located in the centre of the province, between the municipalities of Álora, Antequera and Ardales. It is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Malaga mountain range, with steep walls of considerable height, through which the Guadalhorce river flows after passing through the reservoirs of El Chorro, Guadalhorce, Guadalteba and Gaitanejo.
