The geosites of the geopark
Forty-five places of special geological interest (“geosites”) have been cataloged, such as some mountains with special geomorphological features, faults, deep river valleys, paleontological or mineral deposits, the synclinal and anticlinal folds, etc. Especially notable are the already mentioned “Risco de La Villuerca”, the Syncline of Santa Lucia, the Apreturas of the river Almonte, the gorge of Peña Amarilla and the Costanaza Mine. Many of them are also cultural sites, for example shelters with art rock, old Vetton fortress, Arab castles and the Logrosan mines that shows us the facts about the mining history in the region.
