This nature reserve is located to the south of the Rio Darro and to the east of the city of Granada. It is almost adjoined to Granada, the historical part of the town, to the Alhambra and Generalife.

In the Llano de la Perdiz, there are a number of sports facilities that are popular with the residents of Granada.  It is the perfect spot to go for a run, a stroll or to go for hikes and bike rides.

The woodland is mainly made up of holm oak trees and pines.
