It is an open-pit mine that reached approximately 200 meters in diameter and 180 meters in depth. After mining operations ceased, the quarry filled with water, forming a kind of artificial lagoon that is now one of the most unique landscapes in the area. The mine is called Confesionarios (Confessionals) because of the gossan geological formations that resemble confessionals in churches.

The flooded Valdelamusa quarry, also known as the Corta de los Confesionarios, is one of the most striking elements of the mining heritage of this district of Cortegana, in the province of Huelva.

Not too difficult

The Cerro de San Cristóbal in Almonaster la Real is one of the highest points in the province of Huelva, with an altitude of 913 meters. This hill is part of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, and is known for its impressive panoramic views.😊

Great swimming opportunity, the pool is deep enough for swimming. The hiking trail along the stream is relatively flat, comfortable and cool.

The route is interesting with a lot of vegetation, chestnut trees and so on. It is worth reaching the viewpoint because there are spectacular views of the entire Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Park - you feel like you can almost touch the clouds.

Valdelamusa is a hamlet and mining town in the municipality of Cortegana. It is surrounded by pyrite mines that are currently closed. In the mid-19th century, favorable mining legislation and the need for metals in the European industry facilitated the entry of foreign capital and companies into the entire Huelva pyrite belt, whose mineral wealth has been known since ancient times.

When visiting the town of Alájar, do not forget to climb the Peña de Arias Montano to enjoy the views of the valley and visit the Palacio Oscuro cave.
