Los Alcornocales Natural Park (in Spanish, Parque natural de Los Alcornocales) is a natural park located in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia; it is shared between the Province of Cádiz and Málaga. The natural park occupies a territory spanning seventeen municipalities with a total population of about 380,000. Los Alcornocales means "the cork oak groves". Los Llanos del Juncal, a small part of the Natural Park, has a distinctive cloud forest and it also forms a mixed laurel forest, that dates back to somewhere between the Tertiary and the Quaternary Period.

  • Los Alcornocales ist ein in Andalusien (Spanien), genau nördlich der Straße von Gibraltar gelegener Naturpark, in dem die größten Korkeichenwälder der Iberischen Halbinsel wachsen, die zugleich einen der größten naturnahen Wälder im Mittelmeerraum überhaupt darstellen. (de)
  • Los Alcornocales Natural Park (in Spanish, Parque natural de Los Alcornocales) is a natural park located in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia; it is shared between the Province of Cádiz and Málaga. The natural park occupies a territory spanning seventeen municipalities with a total population of about 380,000. Los Alcornocales means "the cork oak groves". Nearly all of the uninhabited land in the park is covered by Mediterranean native forest. While some of the land has been cleared for cattle ranches, much of the human activity in the park is devoted to exploitation of the forest's resources: hunting wild game, collecting wild mushrooms, and foraging for good specimens of tree heath. The tree heath (Erica arborea, called "brezos" in Spanish) is a small evergreen shrub, rarely more than two or three meters high; it is the source of the reddish briar-root wood used in making tobacco pipes, and its wood is excellent raw material for making charcoal. Above all, however, the park's forests are exploited for the production of cork. The cork oak (Quercus suber) is a tree with a spongy layer of material lying between the outer surface of its bark and the underlying living layer called the phloem (which, in turn, encloses the non-living woody stem.) Cork is generated by a specialized layer of tissue called cork cambium. Properly done, harvesting cork from a given tree can be undertaken every ten to twelve years without damaging the tree; the cork cambium simply regenerates it. Cork has many commercial uses, including wine-bottle stoppers, bulletin boards, coasters, insulation, sealing material for jar lids, flooring, gaskets for engines, fishing bobbers, handles for fishing rods and tennis rackets, etc. Los Alcornocales Natural Park has the biggest and best preserved relicts of Laurisilva in Continental Europe. Los Llanos del Juncal, a small part of the Natural Park, has a distinctive cloud forest and it also forms a mixed laurel forest, that dates back to somewhere between the Tertiary and the Quaternary Period.

  • El parque natural de Los Alcornocales es un parque natural declarado por el Parlamento de Andalucía en 1989. Este espacio natural protegido comprende una gran franja con orientación sur-norte entre la zona costera de Tarifa, en el mismo estrecho de Gibraltar, hasta las sierras del interior, en los municipios de Cortes de la Frontera, Ubrique y El Bosque. Con una superficie 167 767 ha, es uno de los parques naturales más grandes de España. La mayor parte del parque natural pertenece a la provincia de Cádiz y sólo una parte es de la provincia de Málaga, con territorio de 18 municipios diferentes, Alcalá de los Gazules, Algar, Algeciras, Arcos de la Frontera, Benalup-Casas Viejas, Benaocaz, Castellar de la Frontera, El Bosque, Jerez de la Frontera, Jimena de la Frontera, Los Barrios, Medina Sidonia, Prado del Rey, San José del Valle, San Roque, Tarifa, Ubrique y Cortes de la Frontera y una población total de unas 380 000 personas. Casi la totalidad de su territorio lo ocupan masas forestales de bosque autóctono mediterráneo, con muy diferentes aprovechamientos, forestal, ganadero, cinegético, recolecta de setas y brezo, aunque lo más destacable es su producción de corcho.​ Su variedad paisajística, de fauna y de vegetación de tipo mediterráneo y de ribera son excepcionales a nivel ibérico, así como su patrimonio cultural.

  • O Parque Natural de Los Alcornocales é um parque natural no sul da Andaluzia que foi declarado pelo Parlamento da Andaluzia em 1989. Esta área natural protegida compreende uma grande faixa com orientação sul-norte entre a área costeira de Tarifa, no estreito de Gibraltar, até às montanhas do interior, nos municípios de Cortes de la Frontera, Ubrique e El Bosque. Com uma área de 167 767 ha (1 680 km²), é um dos maiores parques naturais da Espanha. A maior parte do parque natural pertence à província de Cádis e apenas uma parte é da província de Málaga, com território de 18 municípios diferentes e uma população total de cerca de 380 000 pessoas. Quase todo o seu território é ocupado por massas florestais da floresta nativa mediterrânica, com usos muito diferentes, silvicultura, pecuária, caça, e coleta de urzes, embora o mais notável seja a produção de cortiça.
