Description
Closed from Utrero, Linarejos
The sector of the Cerrada de Utroo-Lancar de Linarejos is located in materials of the Prebetic of the Betic Cordillera. In particular, in the Cerrada de Utrero, the Guadalquivir River fits into limestone of the Superior Jurassic often dolomitised that develop constructive and destructive karmic forms at different scales.
The narrow river-karctic valley was carved during the quaternary along the axis of a synchronous N40E direction. The karctic canyon of the closed is one km long and has a profile scaled by the development of travertines and pozas. The walls of the valley are pulled by minor karmic forms of great beauty and spectacular lapiaces The setting of the Guadalquivir River has left the stream of Linarejos hanging producing an impressive waterfall, known as the Cascade of Linarejos. This water jump of several tens of meters develops a travertine mass with "horse tail" morphology and cascade facies. The Lanchar de Linarejos is located on the SE flank of the synclinal and features a sequence of lapiaces and structural alleys controlled by conjugated diaclases.
