Abstract
The 1884 Arenas del Rey Earthquake has been the last big earthquake in Spain (EMS98=IX-X; Mw=6.5-6.7). This earthquake generated an important amount of geological effects, both primary and secondary. The coseismic normal surface faulting was more than 20 km in length. The most common secondary effects were landslides and rock falls. The application of the ESI07 macroseismic scale has located the epicentral area in the polje of Zafarraya. Using the resulting intensity distribution and the modeling of the seismic source dimensions, the shake map has been calculated, obtaining a maximum ground peak acceleration of 0.71 g.
