Granada Geopark ES
The present-day valleys in the north of Granada were created by rivers draining towards the Atlantic Ocean during the last half million years. Prior to this, a period of some 5 million years, the territory of the Geopark was formed by a river system with no exit to the sea, and its waters drained into a large lake. This period resulted in one of the best sedimentalogical records of the Quaternary in Europe.

Central Catalonia Geopark CAT
During the Eocene (37-41 million years ago), Central Catalonia was below sea-level with a mountainous hinterland that extended southwards beyond the current Balearic Islands. The rivers flowing from these mountains deposited their sediments in the form of the alluvial fans which are exposed today in the massifs of Montserrat, St. Llorenç, and Montsant
