Köppen climate type:
Small abandoned quarry located about 2.5 km west of the town of Calpe, 300 meters NE of the confluence of Barranc Salat and Barranc de la Mola.
The eruptive ophitic rock, probably from the Triassic, forms an olistolite in a complex olistostromic terrain of Langhiense age (Middle Miocene). The ophite is quite altered, with abundant fractures filled or coated by minerals of hydrothermal origin, mainly calcite and zeolites.
