They consist of gabbros, dolerites and basalts, which were transformed into eclogites or amphibolites during the Alpine metamorphism. Their primary magmas were tholeiitic basalts originated in E-MORB to N-MORB geodynamic conditions. By comparing these metabasites with those of the Betic and Alpine-Apennine Ophiolites and with basalts from current oceanic ridges, we classify them as ophiolitic and tectonically deriving from the oceanic floor of the Jurassic Western TethysspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Betic ophiolitesSierra del AlgarroboMulhacén ComplexNevadofilábride DomainEastern Betic Cordillerajournal articleopen access
