Villanueva de las Torres Cleft

Villanueva de las Torres Cleft is a deep crack in the earth crust formed by erosion and geological shifts. The walls of this natural passage rise dozens of meters high, creating a narrow path with unusual acoustics and play of light. The surrounding Gorafe area is characterized by desert-like hills and canyons, against which Villanueva de las Torres Cleft looks particularly monumental. While exploring the interior of the fissure, travelers can clearly see the layers of ancient sedimentary rocks. This site attracts photographers and geology enthusiasts with its rugged beauty and the sense of raw natural power in Andalusia.
