==Description==

The Subbaetic System runs to the north of the [[Cordillera Penibética]] from [[Cape Trafalgar]] in [[Cádiz Province]] across Andalusia reaching into the [[Region of Murcia]].<ref>Edited by W Gibbons & T Moreno, ''Geology of Spain'', 2002, {{ISBN|978-1-86239-110-9}}</ref> The highest peaks reach heights between 1,500m and well over 2,000 m.

The [[Prebaetic System]] is a subsystem of the Cordillera Subbética. The materials that compose the eastern sector were formed in a relatively shallow sea.<ref>[http://aguas.igme.es/igme/publica/libro103/pdf/lib103/capiII_04.pdf Morfología kárstica del sector oriental del Prebético andaluz]</ref>
