4 páginas, 3 figuras.-- Trabajo presentado en la 37ª Sesión Científica, Almería, 2004.By means of a photointerpretation study, the main fault sets have been determined in the Sierra Almijara,
in the Betic Cordillera. The more frequent directions are N20-40E, N50-70E, N90-100E, N120-140E and
N140-160E. They are consistent with some of the main stress fields occurred in the Betic Cordillera. The
paleostresses responsible of fracturing have been inferred from regional and field data. Many of the
movements of these faults occurred since de late Tortonian, during a very important uplifting of the Betic
Range, up to the Quaternary.Este trabajo es una contribución al
