Out in the open air, we touch the soft moss, the smooth polished stone, the ferns and Venus navels that grow in the cracks where threads of water trickle... In little more than a century, we have changed the Earth's skin a bit with our mines, highways, cities, and stuff. Other empires also dissolved mountains … Continue reading Gredos waterfalls
From a geological point of view, the mineral phases that we can find in Miguel Vacas Mine are the classic ones of primary and secondary origin associated with low-temperature hydrothermal vein deposits. These are very likely related to late hydrothermal magmatic fluid circulation processes through the cracks and fissures of pre-existing metamorphic rocks (forming breccias … Continue reading Miguel Vacas Mine. Genesis of copper mineralizations
The crystal-clear waters and strong Mediterranean light allow for a view of the rock and sand bottoms, their green and turquoise colors, and the intense blue of the posidonia beds. Feeling them makes my mind dive into a sea that witnessed the birth of history. Those who brought the fluid of several civilizations sailed these … Continue reading Scuba diving in Cabo de Gata

The young fisherman dares to explore new weathers, small rivers trapped in canyons where only the path of deer and otters, wolves and deer, instinct and desire to discover the world can … Continue reading Young fisherman
More than a million years ago, the Günz glaciation occurred, followed by the Mindel glaciation half a million years ago, the Riss glaciation two hundred thousand years ago, and the Würm glaciation eighty thousand years ago. Kilometers of ice rose and fell in slow tides, changing the landscapes and what could live in this inhospitable … Continue reading Relict oaks
Water is very clever and flows where it costs less; with time as its ally, it erodes and destroys everything in its path with the sole aim of reaching lakes and oceans quickly and comfortably. The landscape knows water and the rest of the elements very well; they have all worked together for millions of … Continue reading Management of the natural environment and wildfires
At times, the emptying of reservoirs reveals submerged towns, the remains of rural shipwrecks in the form of ruined mansions, mills, fulling mills, bridges, or drowned forests.
