(En Català: )

To climb up the Barranc means crossing continuous sedimentary materials formed on the seabed between 220 and 150 million years ago, turned over by the geological forces that formed the Serra Tramuntana range, some 20 million years ago.

The Barranc owes its peculiarities to physical causes (force of the mountain streams, rock falls) and to chemical causes (calcareous rocks it is made of are gradually deformed: in the geological scale, over millions of years they dissolve like sugar.
