Marchal Badlands (Cárcavas de Marchal)

Highlight • Canyon

This clay massif of reddish and yellowish hues is formed from the movements of the Earth's plates, which caused the area to sink 25 million years ago. Erosion due to its particular climate leaves a unique landscape, characterized by ravines, rills and deep ditches. Without a doubt, it is worthy of admiration.

With all the rich architectural and urban heritage that this city contains, there is nothing as surprising and exceptional as its famous neighborhood of Las Cuevas, whose extension exceeds that of the historic center itself, in a place of absolute rarity.
