Resumen

In this paper we propose a model of tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the Spanish Central System, Toledo Mountains, Iberian - Altomira Ranges and Madrid Basin during the Cenozoic. This model hase been established from the analysis of: balanced cross sections, macro and microstructural data (analysis of brittle deformation) and the sedimentary record of Madrid Basin. These structural units, have been evolved during the Neogene, under the stress fields transmitted from the active Iberian Plate borders, the Betic and the Pyrenees. The superposition of these two regional stress tensors produces locally the "Altomira" stress field. The evolution and superposition of these regional stress fields is a gradual and long term process.
