The valley is set to become either a Regional or National Park, which will extend protection to the wild-life and plant-life.

The Rambla is about five miles long, running down to the Mediterranean Sea at Isla Plana. It is very rugged, with spectacular views and is a delight for walkers and country lovers. The dominant feature of the valley is the Peña Blanca, a mile long white cliff up to 400 feet high. From the top of the Peña Blanca (2,300 feet) there are impressive views over the adjoining hills and coast. The whole area is of great geological interest.

There is an abundance of wild life in the valley, including foxes, wild boar, hares and lynx. There are numerous kinds of birds such as owls, bee eaters, golden orioles, eagles, ravens, egrets, hoopoes, kites and most of the common British garden birds.

The upper slopes of the valley are clothed in the usual Mediterranean plants such as oleander, rosemary, thyme, lavender and various grasses. Dotted around are small terraced fields, many dating from Arab times, growing almond, carob and olive trees. Lower down the valley are wooded areas mostly of pine and eucalyptus. Bamboo canes line the bottom of the valley; thus giving the valley its name.
