Abstract

The Columba volcano (38º45’30 “N / 3º47’00” W) is located on the left bank of the Jabalón river next to the reservoir of Vega del Jabalón, in Granátula de Calatrava and Valenzuela de Calatrava municipalities. It forms a slender piroclastyc cone on whose top opens an elongated double crater. The pahoe-hoe lava flow emitted presents good outcrops next to the reservoir dam. The main value of this volcano is to have developed its last eruption, dated in the middle Holocene, of the Campo de Calatrava, which gave rise to the development of deposits of pyroclastic flow and lahar. These characteristics make it a special territory to propose to the competent administrations the development of a didactic itinerary let you know the peculiarities of this volcano listed as the only active one in the Campo de Calatrava, by the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution with the number 210040, putting it at the same time in value (https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=210040) the remarkable geological heritage of the sedimentary basin by which runs the middle Jabalón river valley.
