Lava flows create the basalt when become solid, a very strong rock which come in different shapes depend on the lava cooling process, shrinking and cracking.
Specifically, Castellfollit cliff was created as a superposition of two lava flows : the first one was originated 217000 years before, not for one minute did you realize this ! The second one, which is younger, came from Begudà volcanoes around 192000 years taking prismatic shapes.
Amazing !
