Estrecho de Bolvonegro, Canyon in Moratalla, Spain.
The Estrecho de Bolvonegro features high rock walls formed by the convergence of Benamor and Alharabe rivers, creating a natural stone corridor.
The canyon area contains archaeological remains of an Iberian settlement called Los Molinicos, dating back to ancient civilizations in the Murcia region.
Local guides share geological knowledge about the Miocene-era sedimentary structures and marine fossil discoveries found within the canyon's rock formations.
Visitors can access the canyon through hiking trails starting from the parking area near Alharabe river, following markers along the left bank.
The canyon displays a geological formation known as Hummocky, containing small terraces that align with the natural stratification of the terrain.
