The Sierra de la Almenara is part of the protected area of the sierras of Almenara, Moreras and Cabo Cope, shared by the municipalities of Águilas, Lorca and Mazarrón. Its highest point is the Talayón peak, at 879 metres. Declared a ZEPA and LIC (EU designations: Special Protection Area for Birds and Site of Community Importance) since 1992, it is home to the spur-thighed tortoise, golden eagle and peregrine falcon, alongside the charca de las Moreras, a refuge for uncommon waterbirds.
