I plan to cover an active volcano in mainland Spain (not a Spanish island)! The volcano in question is called Calatrava, and last erupted in 3600 BC. It’s located south of Madrid. Any questions?

I haven’t heard of this volcano before. Is it related to the 1755 earthquake and tsunami that happened off the coast of Portugal? That must be a subduction zone off the coast and the volcano is the result of that subduction, yes?

It is unrelated. The geologic setting is intraplate volcanism, much like the Laacher See in Germany

Is it Monogenetic?

Interesting stuff, had never heard of this before. It looks highly developed for agriculture and what looks like several quarry/mine sites.
