Geological routes The relief which can be observed in Monfragüe is the result of a long geological history which dates back to the Paleozoic era, around 500 million years ago, when the entire area was covered by the sea. The large landscape forms are in the shape of peaks and valleys, resulting in an appalachian type relief, with overhangs in the form of ridges. This succession of ridges and U-shaped valleys is intertwined with meadow vegetation, with large expanses of holm oaks and cork oaks and Mediterranean undergrowth with thickets and heaths. Here we propose several different alternatives so that you can learn about this geology.
