Castellar is a municipality in Spain with three urban areas and a total population of around 2,400 inhabitants. It relies on agriculture and the Guadarranque River, which provides water for drinking and irrigation via a reservoir. The surrounding mountains are low but rounded. There is also some ranching, mainly on a large 16,000 hectare estate. The area has a Mediterranean climate that is mild in winter with rainfall in autumn and spring, supporting a diverse Mediterranean forest habitat.

C astellar is a municipality with three urban cores. The Castle, Almoraima and new people, with a total population of approximately two thousand four hundred inhabitants. Runs through its territory Guadarranque River, in which the dam was built during the same name. This reservoir provides drinking water and irrigation to the people.
The mountains that surround it are rounded and of scanty altitude. Castellar lives of the agriculture with the exploitation of plots of irrigation. The water they comes supplied from a channel and in them it is cultivated principally citric. Nowadays one experiments on cultures under ceiling and tropical.
Something exists of ranching, principally in the estate of the Almoraima. It is a large estate of 16.000 hectares expropriated to Ruiz Mateo and that occupies mas of ninety per cent of the municipal territory. Because of its proximity to the sea, Castellar has a good climate. The winters are very mild. Rainfall is abundant in autumn and spring, which together with a constant humidity, make this area a huge Mediterranean forest. In the Mediterranean forest it abounds the blockheads, gall oaks and wild olive trees. Under them Mediterranean species coexist, as palmettoes, lentiscos, heathers and rockroses that coexist with the ferns that proliferate in the zones mas shady. There are ravines, called "canutos", in which there is a microclimate. As a result, we find species that have survived over millions of years and is currently in danger of extinction.

In spring great quantity of wild flowers they cover the meadows, forming a multicolored carpet. This vegetation uses as cover and sustenance to a great number of insects, butterflies, spiders, mollusks, etc. Likewise these small animals feed to reptiles and amphibians to small mammals as the hedgehog. The deer, roe deer and sheep are the main representatives of mammals superiors. Due to its proximity to the African continent, this area is required for migratory birds as swifts, storks, abejarrucos and ducks. As the martin fisherman and some lads, they remain others in the zone all the year round.
FLORA FROM CASTELLAR DE LA FRONTERA In regard to its flora, most common plant species is the oak, that names the park to which it belongs Castellar de la Frontera and has an impressive population. The park features the largest cork oak forest in Spain and one of the largest in the world, in an excellent state of preservation while maintaining human use of cork. CORK
