DIE CALERA

The kiln is built by excavating a cylindrical pit 2–3 meters in diameter and 3–4 meters deep into a hillside. It is usually lined internally with granite stones; the surface layer, the so-called parapet, consists of larger granite stones. At the bottom of the pit, the diameter tapers and forms an elevated platform, the so-called Poyal, which surrounds the entire circumference. This platform serves as the base for the stones to be fired. It is 70 centimeters high and forms the walls of the combustion chamber, the Calderuela, where the wood is burned. A ramp leads from the surface to the bottom of the pit and forms the kiln opening. This area is called the charging shaft; here stands the lime burner, who charges the wood-fired kiln.

DER CAL

Quicklime is obtained by calcining limestone at 1000 °C over a period of 20 to 30 hours.

Guadalmina Dam Wall

Highlight • Structure

The 21-meter-high dam does not have the task of storing water reserves for dry periods. It serves exclusively to intercept the water of the Río Guadalmina. The impounded water is diverted directly through a 9.5-kilometer-long tunnel. This diverts the water into the region's large main reservoir – the Embalse de la Concepción near Istán/Marbella.
