The Salt of the Triassic The Gentle Valleys of the Iberian System in Spain, whether located in the provinces of Guadalajara, Cuenca, Valencia or Teruel, are characterized by a low-elevation relief, with rounded profiles and are defined by those characteristic reddish and greenish colors that give the marls and clays of the Keuper (Upper Triassic). … Continue reading Saltworks in the Gentle Valleys of the Iberian System
