Abstract
Con motivo del centenario de la primera excursión geológica realizada en 1914 a Navas de Estena por D. Joaquín Gómez de Llarena, en los aledaños del Parque Nacional de Cabañeros (Montes de Toledo: Ciudad Real-Toledo), se propone un recorrido geológico-paisajístico por la Geo-ruta del Boquerón del Estena, auténtico santuario morfológico, botánico y geológico del Parque, que ofrece una de las secciones fosilíferas más representativas del Ordovícico Inferior y Medio de Europa occidental, y de la Discordancia Toledánica, que lo separa del sustrato deformado, del Cámbrico Inferior-Proterozoico Superior. También se destacan los rasgos principales de la evolución paleogeográfica regional, y de su Historia Geológica reciente.
To mark the centenary of the first geological excursion led in 1914 by Joaquín Gomez de Llarena to Navas de Estena, in the vicinity of the Cabañeros National Park, located in the Mounts of Toledo, which straddles the two provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo, a geological and landscape route is being proposed following the Boquerón del Estena geo-route. This part of the Park is a veritable geological, botanical and morphological sanctuary, offering one of the most representative fossil-bearing sections of the Lower and Middle Ordovician to be found in western Europe as well as of the Toledanian Unconformity, which separates it from the deformed substratum of the Lower Cambrian/Upper Proterozoic. Also worthy of note are the outstanding features of its recent geological history and regional paleogeographic evolution.
