smooth, polished limestone

Whilst I agree with the answers already given, I just wanted to add what I had found. Apparently, llambría is the name given to a type of smooth, polished limestone:llambria (caliza pulida y lisa). I am not sure if there is a name for this in English, but I hope this helps anyway.

TORRE DEL LLAMBRIÓN (2.642 m.)
Es la segunda altura de los Picos de Europa, y su enorme masa caliza planteó problemas hasta mediados de siglo a los montañeros que querían acceder a ella por Cantabria y que era sistemáticamente confundida con la Torreblanca. El nombre de Llambrión sería aumentativo de llambria (caliza pulida y lisa).

Llambría

'La Llambría' is a cliff in Spain (Asturias). It's a proper name and does not need translation.
