It is undoubtedly the most impressive of all the mines in the Riotinto Park. It knew how to be a world reference in this activity and is still one of the symbols of Huelva, today also recognized for its tourist character, attracting visitors from all over the world. Guided tours can be done, I suggest you plan by consulting the official website:

Hiking

To get to the viewpoint, paid access is required. The hiking trail ends here at a fence. Nevertheless, a somewhat limited view of the opencast mine is possible
