Hiking
The area is linked to the Iberian Pyrite Belt, where copper and other metal mining was intense from the 19th century onwards.
To transport the ore, the British built the Riotinto Railway (1873-1875), which included numerous bridges over the Tinto River and its tributaries.
Many of these bridges fell into disuse after the railway line closed in the 20th century and remain today as industrial remnants.

Hiking
The bridge on/over the Rio Tinto, which is no longer complete, is a nice photo opportunity
