Obligatory stopping point if you take the road. There are incredible views even of the Rio Tinto mining railway.

Old station that is located a few kilometers from the town of Nerva and that was used to transport the materials extracted from the mine.

Road that passes through where there are the train tracks that brought the materials that came out of the mines to the town of Nerva. These tracks are currently still used by the tourist train that runs there, but the path allows you to see them perfectly as well as the river that is nearby.

Section of river that is crossed by the road but from where you can see the water passage before entering again towards the mountains near El Madroño.

This beautiful town is located between Alájar and Aracena, in the center of the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche Natural Park, one of the most important protected areas in the Community. Its cobbled streets, the Parish Church of San Juan Bautista, the public laundry and its crowded houses stand out.

A museum dedicated to mining activity in the area and its history. It has an important museographic collection that ranges from archaeological pieces to mining extraction machinery and railway locomotives. The Museum building is the former mining hospital of the Rio Tinto Company Limited.

The municipality known above all for its pyrite mines (exploited since ancient times by the Romans) temporarily closed after one of the biggest environmental disasters in Europe - when in 1998 the Aznalcóllar mining dam burst and caused a polluting spill in this area.
