Description
Granites of The Safe Gate
Aflation of paleozoic granite surrounded by prebetic (triasic) materials with which it has a relationship of inconformity. Part of the village is built on the granite, which force a meandro in the Guadalimar River.
These are pink-coloured granules in afloor, in which large quartz and feldspar crystals are distinguished, in general unmeteorized. They are part of a recently exhumed paleorelieve after the erosion of the triastic clays and herring that cover them regionally. This is the granitic outcrop of the Central Iberian Zone of the southernmost Iberian Massif and further into the Betic Externs.
