    One of the most intriguing aspects of Rodalquilar is the remains of mining activity, such as abandoned mines and industrial structures scattered throughout the valley. The coastal defense castle, built during the reign of Charles III, is also a sight that highlights the rich history of the region.

    The gold mines are spread across the area behind the factory. Officially you are not allowed to walk into any of those mines.
