Beautiful road through the northern part of the Hoya de Guadix, along the Rio Fardes.
The Hoya de Guadix is a tectonic depression that has been filled over millions of years with sediments from the surrounding mountain ranges. These sediments contain clay, sand, marl and gypsum, which contribute to the specific erosion patterns.
The landscape is often dry and semi-arid, with clay hills and sandstone formations eroded by erosion known as "badlands" or in Spanish "cárcavas". These formations create a unique and sometimes alien-looking landscape with different colors, ranging from white and ochre to red and purple.
