[ES] La Bahía de Cádiz se instala en el labio hundido de una falla de direcció ENE- OSO que pasa al pie de la Sierra de San Cristóbal y que se continúa al Norte de El Aculadero. Los materiales del Plioceno superior «facies ostionera» fosilizan en muchos casos este accidente. Esta zona deprimida fue propicia a la permanencia de ambientes marinos y costeros durante la regresión generalizada del Plioceno superior y Pleistoceno. Las secciones estudiadas muestran megasecuencias transgresivas separadas por épocas de emersión asociadas en muchos casos con procesos de karstificación. A partir de estas series se deduce que durante el Plio/Pleistoceno lacosta formaba un amplio entrante entre Rota y la Barrosa (Chiclana de la Frontera) que se extendía por la parte inferior del valle del Guadalete, siendo la Sierra de San Cristóbal el relieve que constituía durante el Plioceno superior el acantilado fósil y dejaba en su interior dos islas. Cerro Centa y Cerro de los Mártires. La retiradaz del mar indujo a la formación de marismas y lagoones marino-salobres que· estaban separados del mar abierto por islas barreras que fueron invadidas repetidamente por el mar durante el Pleistoceno merced a oscilaciones positivas del nivel del mar con un valor «relativo» de 10-15 metros. El esquema de distribución de ambientes es semejante al actual en el que la flecha de Valdelaguana actúa como isla barrera entre el mar abierto y las marismas que, hacia tierra se interdigitan con conos de deyección y coluviones. Las dimensiones de la Bahía se han reducido con el tiempo.
[EN] The Bay of Cádiz occupies a depression due to a fault bearing ENE - OSO, which is observed from the foothills of the San Cristóbal Sierra to the El Aculadero area, more to the north. This tectonic accident is covered by undisrupted sediments of upper Pliocene age (Facies Ostionera) in several places. Despite the general regressive trend which characterize the late Pliocene and Pleistocene ages, marines or littoral environments maintained in the Bay of Cádiz in relation to its depressed situation. The studied successions show transgresive megasequences separated by regressive episodes with karstification. A big bay existed in those times (Plio/Pleistocene) between Rota and La Barrosa (Chiclana de la Frontera) which extended along the valley of the Guadalete River, just by the paleo cliff of Sierra de San Cristóbal. Two islands corresponding to the Cerro de Centa and Cerro de los Mártires emerged. The general retreat of the sea eventually led to the development of barrier islands, lagoons and marshes that were repeatedly inundated during the Pleistocene due to positive oscillations of the «relative» sea level averaging 10-15 m. The pattern of sedimentary environments is fairly similar to the present-day model which the Valdelagrana spit bar acts as a barrier island placed between the open sea and the lagoon (marismas) that interfinger to the land with alluvial fan and colluvial continental environments. The size of the paleo-bay has decreased with time.
