History of "el Pinar del Rey"

Hello everybody! I'm María Rodríguez and I´m again here to talk to you about the history of our nice wood, "El Pinar del Rey". This forest dates back to 1800 when the powerful Spanish Navy trees planted here to supply wood for building warships. At that time Spain was still the first naval power in the world, but after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, fortunately for lovers of nature, our country lost this supremacy. The king Ferdinand IV was the one who gave the mountain where the Pinar City of Gibraltar in 1310. As an anecdote to underline that the Royal Society Hunting Gibraltar, "The Royal Calpe Hunt", organized fox hunts in the nineteenth century in this area, and many other places of the municipality and the Campo de Gibraltar.
