The museum offers an exceptional geological tour to explore and interpret the landscapes of the Cabo de Gata Geoparque in relation to the entire province. The mind-boggling concepts involved in thinking about time periods of tens, sometimes hundreds of millions of years and the slow processes that occur over those periods are demystified. This is definitely the place to go to understand the landscapes of Andalusia.
