Description
Plizas del Río Borosa
The route of the Borosa River, between the Piscifactory and the Cerrada de Elias, allows to observe a varied set of folds. The structure of the Sierra del Pozo, in which the Borosa River is located, is characterized by the presence of folds and NNE-SSW direction failures. The general geological structure of this Sierra is controlled by two large synchlinals: the birth of the Guadalquivir River and the Cabañas River.
In the four initial kilometers of the itinerary that part of the Piscifactory, folds associated with those of a regional character are observed, the size of which ranges from 1 meter to several tens of meters. These are developed in Cretaceous materials of Urgonian facies and their orientation determines the course of neighboring streams, with the concordant relief of the Arroyo de las Trout valley controlled by a spectacular sinchinal. As an example of anti-linear, the best fold is found in the Los Caracolillo Bridge.
