Paisaxes da Capelada

Best Cinematography Award for Alberto Lobelle

The black granite of the Serra de A Capelada mountain range was formed by magma in the Precambrian period, 1.160 billion years ago. The rocks remained deep below the surface until they were lifted when the Pangea supercontinent broke up 200 million years ago, producing cliffs some 600 metres high. Homo sapiens sapiens appeared on the Earth 200,000 years ago.
