Places of Interest
From an orographic point of view its made up of a heightened massif of deep interior vallies. Its geological materials, the oldest of the Precambrica era were affected by the jack knifing Alpine and are mainly made up of sandstone, dolomite, marl and limestone which have allowed the characteristic formation known as "Karst", giving place to the "Karstico" countryside; produced by the disolving of the carbonites of the limestone rocks eroded by rainwater and snow, like "El Gigante" where the erosion has created very sophisticated shapes in the rocks. Other places of interest are: 'El Purgatorio, Las Alquerías, La Arboleja, El Cerro de las Cabras, La Fuente del Sol, Las Cunas' - from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountainous countryside-; 'La Umbría' or 'Pozos de la Nieve' - which we will talk about in more detail in the Places of Interest. The heights above sea level vary from 200 metres in the areas closest to the Gaudalentín Valley and 1,585 metres at its highest point, the famous 'Pico Morrón' of Totana or Espuña. To the South of this peak you can find one of the other most interesting areas called Collao Bermejo at 1,200 metres, it is a traditional area for hiking. The western area is taken up by 'LLano de la Cabras'. Another point of orographic interest is the region called 'Morrón Largo'.
