Rivers
The Genal Valley has some of the last remaining wild rivers in Andalucia, pure and uncontaminated due to the lack of civilization and cultivated farmland upstream. The rivers are home to a vast array of wildlife and insects, including native fish, frogs and dragonflies, unique species of bird like the kingfisher, as well as larger mammals like wild boar, deer, otters, pine martins, foxes and more.

The Eden Project
Creating Food Abundance In Nature
Food forest
Working to create abundant food systems that are fully integrated with nature and with respect for all local wildlife. We are here to showcase how humans can produce an abundance of fresh food, without the need for chemicals or animal based agriculture.
When grown with natural farming methods, a food garden can even become an advancement on nature itself, harbouring more life and biodiversity than the original landscape.
The Eden Project takes advantage of the warm Mediterranean climate and the intact surrounding forests to create a magical garden, full of fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds and other edible plants. The original human diet.
Only when grown in mineral-rich, living soil, picked fresh, or ripe straight off the tree, can one experience how food is meant to taste.
