The Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs are a 12 square kilometer protected natural area located between Granada and Malaga provinces in Spain. The cliffs and ravines are home to diverse marine life including sponges, corals, anemones, echinoderms, octopuses, crabs, and fish. Terrestrial vegetation has been reduced by human activity but remaining plants include oak groves, lentisks, wild jasmine, Kermes oak, prickly pear, Jerusalem pine, thyme, and bush lavender adapted to the cliff habitat.
