I spent the better part of Saturday hiking among the rocks of El Torcal, a fascinating park in Spain. The rocks are beautiful limestone, carved into incredible patterns through the forces of erosion over time.
El Torcal is located just outside of Antequera, Spain. It's a smaller city in the province of Málaga.
Its formation is due to a process that has lasted several hundred million years. It goes back 200 million years ago, when much of Europe and the Middle East were submerged under the sea. The process of carbonation sedimentation began, originated by the accumulation and deposit of skeletons, shells and shells of marine animals at the bottom of the sea that will last about 175 million years. These sediments have been accumulated and compacted at different levels, forming the horizontal strata of thicknesses of thousands of meters.
Today, it all makes for incredible scenery and beautiful pictures.
