    Today, the Rodalquilar mines are a major tourist attraction. The old mining town has been restored and converted into a museum, where visitors can learn about the history of gold mining in the area.
    Translated by
    Rodalquilar was an old mining center, in ancient times wire was extracted from its mountains, and in the 19th and 20th centuries the exploitation was concentrated in its gold mines.

    Today the mines are no longer exploited due to the high cost of obtaining the mineral. At the entrance to the town, the old miners' houses that have a future rehabilitation project are still preserved.
