AB An integrated geomorphic and structural study has been performed along the western border of Sierra deGádor (Betic Cordillera, SE Spain). To do this, we have calculated some of the most reliable geomorphicindexes for tectonic activity (mountain-front sinuosity, Smf; asymmetry factor, AF; and stream-length index,SL) combined with a slope analysis. Field observations evidence that most of the topographic scarps thatcharacterize the western termination of Sierra de Gádor match with a NW-SE trending normal fault system.These normal faults dip to the West and, in cases, affect Quaternary alluvial deposits. Values of SL and AFindexes applied to the Cástala stream catchment area suggest a westwards tilting of this side of Sierra deGádor. Thus, structural and geomorphologic data coincide and suggest that western Sierra de Gádororography is mainly influenced by NW-SE high-angle normal faults with very recent activity
