Salar, located west of Granada, is also called surco intrabético since it bisects the Bética mountain range. It also shares the characteristics of this unique AREA as one of the last steps in the high plateau linking the eastern part of Spain with Andalusia.

Its uneven landscape with heights ranging from the 420 m of altitude to 1,617 m, offers a large variety of scenery, which is often speckled by colourful paragliding and hang gliding.
