The Cabo de Gata natural park owes its dramatic landscape to volcanic activity from 16 to 8 million years ago. Just north of the campsite is a large round Caldera; a collapsed volcano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was windy and overcast, so we took ourselves off for a run up the rambla (footpath following a dry stream bed) to explore. The path took us to the bottom of the basin of the caldera, where we were surrounded by the steep walls of the now-extinct volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
