Geocache Description:

A Pica, ou As Pedras Cabaleiras son enormes bolos de pedra colocadas en equilibrio, como resultado da alteración do granito exposto a unha longa meteorización por parte da chuvia e o vento.

GALEGO

O granito é unha roca que se forma a grandes profundidades á partires do magma. O longo da história xeolóxica estes granitos foron empuxados cara a superficie e desprovistos pola erosión de todo recubrimiento, á vez que os elementos atacam a pedra especialmente nos bordes, polo que o final dos bloques adquiren formas arredondadas.
