Volcán de Cerro Gordo, Cinder cone in Granátula de Calatrava, Spain.
Located in Campo de Calatrava's volcanic region, Cerro Gordo rises 90 meters with a major axis of 1000 meters and contains 830 meters of magma and sediments.
The formation process included multiple volcanic phases, starting with black pyroclasts that created an asymmetrical cone, followed by freatomagmatic eruptions forming tuff rings.
The site houses Spain's first accessible volcano museum, established through collaboration between LafargeHolcim mining company and the local municipality of Granátula de Calatrava.
Guided tours operate Wednesday through Thursday from 10:00 to 12:00, and weekends from 12:00 to 14:00, with regular admission at 2.50 euros.
A 4-meter-high observation platform provides views of the volcanic structure, which spans 280 hectares within the Sierra de Valenzuela volcanic alignment.
