Sierra de Elvira
There is a row of crags north of the autopista on our side of Granada and I had a good opportunity to photograph them on a trip into Aki to buy a cupboard. The hills are topped off by a massive dolomite bed of Lower Jurassic (Sinemurian) age. This bed of rock dips north but is cut off on its southern side by a NW-SE trending fault - part of the Alicante - Cadiz fault zone which runs through the Granada basin.
