Zusammenfassung
We have visited four of the five outcrops where Daniel Jiménez de Cisneros mentioned the presence of quartz sandstone similar to the ones of the "Amoladeras" on the road from Elche to Aspe. The outcrop "2 km away from La Zarza spring" have not been found because of the imprecise location mentioned in the works of Jiménez de Cisneros. Sierra de la Puerta is the outcrop where the Rasa Sandstone was defined. The north slope of the Peña Rubia mountain and the road to Las Virtudes, both nearby Villena, are eolian deposits similar to other ones of the Vinalopó valley like the Arenal de Petrel. Finally, the La Zarza spring shows different facies that can not be related with the Rasa Sandstone
