Flysch in the Tabernas Desert, Andalusia (Spain). Barranco del infierno - Alternating sandstones and marls deposited in the Miocene ( - 8 Ma) in a sedimentary basin at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, then folded and straightened by recent tectonics. The arid climate of the Tabernas makes it Europe's only desert, expanding as a result of the increasing drought in southern Spain.
