The rocks of the Yunquera Unit (Alpujárride Complex) record two stages, at least, of recrystallization at
different P-T conditions defined by the mineral associations: a) Grt + Pl + Ms + St + Ky + Qtz, and b) Grt
+ Pl + Sill + Qtz ± Bt. The metamorphic peak for the first stage has been estimated at ca. 1200-1300
MPa and 560-695 ºC through conventional thermobarometry. The second mineral association was
equilibrated at 600 MPa and 700 ºC. These data support the existence of an initial high-pressure
metamorphic stage followed by a pressure drop and final cooling during the Alpine exhumation of the
Unit
