It is formed by a Strombolian volcanic cone of pyroclasts, and due to the quarry in it, its internal structure is exposed. Attached to the foot of this volcano is the Almodóvar maar, which is a phreatomagmatic explosion crater that erupted at the edge of the Paleozoic series, cutting a substrate of hard lithology and destroying part of the previous volcano. The maar crater is funnel-type (hard-type substrate) and houses an ephemeral lagoon inside. In its southern and eastern contour the maar has a ring of tuffs, with pyroclastic facies. The phreatomagmatic deposits of the maar ring are located on a Cenozoic red colluvium. The main interest is of a volcanological (petrological) type and as a secondary interest the geomorphological interest stands out.

Seasonal lagoon of volcanic origin typical of the area. These lagoons appear from the flooding of old hydromagmatic craters (maars). They favor the appearance and proliferation of riparian plant species and aquatic or migratory birds.
