Cerro Gordo is a volcano located in Granátula de Calatrava, in the Campo de Calatrava region, in Ciudad Real (Castilla - La Mancha). It has a height of 90 meters, and a morphology of a cinder cone and mud flows, sculpted through different volcanic phases.

The area of the volcano is also a mining exploitation and the company that exploits it ceded a space of 2000 square meters to the town hall to create a scientific and educational museum, becoming the first visitable volcano in the Iberian Peninsula.
