This place seems from another planet! It is one of the most important mines (already in disuse) in the Nerva area that were exploited to extract iron ore. Today they can be visited by walking along the authorized trails to maintain safety, since these places are usually dangerous due to possible landslides.

The Peña del Hierro Viewpoint, located in Nerva (Huelva), is part of the Riotinto Mining Park and offers one of the most impressive views of the source of the Tinto River, as well as the mining crater of the old pyrite mine.
