Discover Minas de Río Tinto

Minas of Riotinto is a unique place in the world. This Onuban town offers an overwhelming landscape, almost Martian, resulting from centuries of mining exploitation. The River Tinto, with its reddish-colored and ochre waters due to high metal content, is a natural spectacle. A visit to the Minero Park is indispensable, with its museum, a journey on a 19th-century railway and entry into a mine. The Bella Vista neighborhood, with Victorian architecture, evokes the British mining company's past. For the traveler, it offers an unforgettable detour, combining history, geology, and a landscape that seems from another planet.
