They are sandy bioclastic limestones, w it h high p o ro s ity and water absorption, and low mechanical strength. These properties correspond to a low technical quality stone as building material, which should prevent its use for construction. Presently buildings made up of Almayate limestones should be treated with appropiate protective products.spaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/LimestoneBuilding stonePetrophysical propertiesTechnical qualityAlmayate (Málaga)Caracterización de las Calizas de Almayate (Malaga) y evaluación de la calidad técnica como Materiales de ConstrucciónCharacterization of Amayate Limestone (Malaga) and evaluation of its technical quality as building stonejournal articleopen access
