    Torcal de Antequera - kamienne miasto w Andaluzji
    (2010) Janusz, Małgorzata; Lorenc, Marek Wojciech
    The Torcal de Antequera is one of the best-preserved karst landscapes in Europe developed in Jurassic, oolithic, brecciated and detrital limestones. The rock formation is well bedded and cut by a dense, regular fracture system. A relatively small area (20 km$^{2}$) comprises four distinct geomorphological zones. At the surface visitors can recognize a variety of landforms produced by water and wind erosion whereas underground there exists a labirynth of karst forms: deep shafts, meandering galleries and huge caves. Since 1978 the Torcal de Antequera has been protected as a Natural Park and since 1989 it has become a Nature Site. The park combines a collection of remarkable geological valours and an exceptional biodiversity.
