Abstract
Sierra Espuna is located in the Eastern Betic Cordillera. The contact between the Malaguide Complex (Internal Betic Zone) and the External Betic Zone cropouts in this area. Sierra Espuna area is a great antiformal stack that is followed by a great synforme (Mula-Pliego Depression). In the upper part of the Malaguide Complex, two nappes, with numerous internal folding and minor thrusting, are recognized: the Morron de Totana Nappe (at the bottom) and the Perona Nappe (at the top). This structure is the result of a complex polyphasic tectonics in which two main structural events are recognized: the Intraoligocene tectonic phase, and the Lower Miocene tectonic phase.
