Description
Travertinos de La Toba
It is a travertine of hectometric dimensions, located on the southern side of the valley of the Segura River, in a sector very close between the Puntal of the Vultures (1680 m) and the Calar del Pino (1567 m). The travertine, attached to the steep carbonate side of the Cretaceous, has a higher flat morphology, on which the picturesque village of La Toba is located.
In the vertical walls of the travertine there are several karmic resurrections with spectacular water jumps and great beauty carbonate morphologies. Stratigraphically, the uprisings are at the base of the upper Cretaceous dolomies, which constitute the aquifer, on the waterproof levels that belong to the lower Cretaceous.
