The Sierra Morena is the result of uplift produced by the pressure of the northward-moving African Plate . Much of its natural beauty is now protected in National Park s, such as Despeñaperros, Sierra de Andújar (Jaén), Sierra de Cardeña-Montoro, Sierra de Hornachuelos, Sierra Madrona , Sierra Norte de Sevilla and Sierra de Aracena Huelva. The name is also applied to the highest point in San Mateo County, California in the U.S., as identified by the U.S. Geological Survey . It has been referenced in the novel Don Quixote , wherein Sancho Panza suggests it to be a refuge from the Holy Brotherhood after Don Quixote frees a group of galley slaves. |
