Cerro Gordo holds a special place in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. After its inauguration on April 15, 2016, it became the first volcano that could be visited in the region. This has made it a unique destination for those interested in geology and natural history.
The Creation of the Cerro Gordo Museum
In February 2011, the Granátula de Calatrava city council acquired 2000 m² of the Cerro Gordo site from Lafarge, a mining company. This area was used to create a scientific-didactic museum in one of the open parts of the volcano, providing visitors with an opportunity to learn about the geological history and features of the site.
The Viewpoint at Cerro Gordo
One of the highlights of a visit to Cerro Gordo is the viewpoint that is included in the guided tour. This viewpoint serves as an observatory and stands at a height of 4 meters, providing visitors with a unique perspective of the volcano and the surrounding landscape.
