El Tornillo del Torcal Natural Monument

El Tornillo del Torcal Natural Monument

Within the Torcal de Antequera Natural Area is this protected geological feature, the Tornillo del Torcal. Its name - the Screw of Torcal - comes from its distinctive appearance, as its limestone layers have been eroded making them look like the threads twisting around a screw. It is used as a symbol for the Torcal Natural Area. Within this area are other limestone features that resemble everyday objects, like the so-called sombrerillo (small sun hat), ataúd (coffin) and the dado (dice).
