GEOROUTE 9: Sierra de Orea

This route runs through the southeastern end of the Sierra de Orea. The geological diversity of this area is spectacular: enormous quarry, whimsical reliefs carved in sandstone, salt lagoons, active peat bogs and even the remains of an ancient volcano. A mosaic of geodiversity whose rocks, colors, textures and shapes condition the vegetation and landscape, very different from those found in other sectors of the Natural Park.
