The woodland is divided into two parts, one part of the woodland is located next to the High School and the other part is located next to the Aquapark. The woodland is a well-known place in Torremolinos. The trees are tall and leafy. It's a good place to have a picnic because it's peaceful.

1- This picture shows some flowers in the woodland like the mallow or the chicory.

2- This picture shows some Aleppo pines. There isn't a native specie because they have been planted by the humans.

3- This picture shows a nest in the woodland

4- This picture shows an ant nest in the woodland.

The slogans are:

-Keep our forest green.

-Bikes not bombs.

-Act like you life here.

-Save the Earth win the life.

In the first place the woodland is a quite large area where you can spend the day or walk around the zone. In this place is celebrated the Romeria, it's an old tradition. There are few birds like pigeon or sparrow. There are lots of trees like Aleppo pine. There are many types of plants like wild carrot, bush, hipomea, dandelion, mallow, chicory and creepy weed. Secondly in the woodland there are many facilities for the visitors like stone tables or barbecues, but in summer you can't make campfires. There are also natural springs. Thirdly you can celebrate birthday parties in the woodland but you can't camp there. Another wonderful thing about this place is its natural spring of drinking water. The best thing about the woodland is that you can spend the day with your family or your friends. Finally the woodland is placed next to Aquapark so you can go there and then you can have lunch in the woodland. You can also visit “El Molino de Inca”. I think the woodland is important because the trees produce the oxygen that we need to breathe and in the woodlands there are many animals an types of plants. People can help by cleaning rubbish and not doing barbecues that can cause fire.

Why are woodlands important? Because the trees produce the oxygen that we need to breathe.
