Hiking
The Sierra del Carche is a limestone massif within the Prebetic System, featuring formations such as faults, thrust faults, and a salt diapir at Cabezo de la Rosa. This geology explains the presence of stone suitable for cutting and extraction in nearby areas, although its status as a Regional Park since 2003 prohibits extractive activities within its boundaries.
