In this place the railway line from Lucainena de las Torres to Agua Amarga ended and it is where the iron extracted in the Lucainena mines was loaded onto the ships that were to transport it to the blast furnaces of the mining companies. This place was chosen because it is well protected from the wind.

Beautiful views, the ruins of the ore loading are very interesting. The lighthouse and the tower on the Mesa Roldan are okay. The last part is better on the road than steeply down the slippery gravel 🤷🏼‍♂️
