Slate gives Valverde de los Arroyos its dark walls, a fine example of the 'black architecture' of the Guadalajara highlands. The village lies at 1,255 metres at the foot of Pico Ocejón, inside the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara natural park, and close by the Chorreras de Despeñalagua tumble more than a hundred metres.
