Serrania del Hornocal and Cianzo

The Serrania del Hornocal is a spectacular site also known as the Cerro de los 14 colores, or 'Hill of 14 colours'. This landscape was formed millions of years ago by layers of rock from different environmental environments and at different geological ages.

The layers are the result of the accumulation of sediments whose origins lie in very different environments such as deserts, rivers, lagoons and coastal areas. They were formed over different periods ranging from as long ago as 115 million years to as recently as 40 million years ago.

A few kilometres after the entrance to the 'official' (i.e. touristy) viewpoint, there is a magnificent descent to Cianzo and its colourful mountains.

From the Cianzo viewpoint, you can admire the Cianzo Valley and the Serrania del Hornocal in the distance.
