Resumen

The Department of Crystallography and Mineralogy (Complutense University, Madrid) carries out every year a field geology course in San José - Rodalquilar (Almería, SE Spain. The region of Almería offers a unique opportunity for the teaching of field geology because of the variety of contrasted geologic scenarios: 1) Alpine metamorphic complexes; 2) Miocene sedimentary basins; 3) Miocene volcanic rocks including world-class pyroclastic deposits of almost every possible type; 4) epithermal gold and industrial minerals deposits; and 5) a second to none large fault zone (Carboneras Fault Zone, Serrata de Níjar). However, what makes different our field geology course is the fact that the students, in teams of 3 to 4 members, simulate a professional survey. Given that most students will end up working for companies, it is important that they receive some practical training before they leave the university.
