ネルウァのおすすめツーリングルート

The source of the Tinto River is located in the municipality of Nerva, in the province of Huelva, Andalusia, and is one of the most unique landscapes in Europe due to its reddish color and its scientific and geological value.

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

Cerro Colorao Mine Viewpoint, a viewpoint located above the road with privileged views of this large open pit mine. The landscape is impressive and seeing the trucks that look like toys, you can feel truly small in front of this work. It is the only mine currently active. The site has shade and has an explanatory sign.

Road that crosses the Gossán reservoir allows you to enjoy this almost Martian landscape. The reddish color of the water is due to the iron content, due to the proximity of old mineral mines. You can even taste iron in the air. Truly futuristic landscapes.

Also known as the Padre Caro mountain range, it indicates the source of the Río Tinto which runs through the interior of Huelva for about 100 km until it reaches the Odiel River. Its name is due to the reddish color of its waters, caused by the weathering of minerals with a high content of heavy metal sulfides that were found and exploited in various deposits along the riverbed.

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