Afloramientos de Guainos Bajos (Autopista Adra-Motril), Adra, Almería, Andalucía, España
Extensive field of alpine-type veins in schist, discovered in roadcuts during construction of the Adra-Motril highway.
Although most of the first specimens were found at the time of the works of the highway, some samples can still be found today close to Guainos Bajos in some places of this Adra neighborhood.
The minerals present are similar to those found in the nearby outcrops of La Alcazaba.
