• Museo Minero Rio Tinto y Tren Minero
  "Manmade Landscape Drama"
  "A fascinating insight into British involvement in the exploitation of Andalucia's minerals. A well organised museum with a lot of archaeological and geographical displays of this region that has been mined since ancient times. The road north from the museum goes right through the middle of the old ..."open cast mining and the sheer scale is just mind blowing. Well worth a visit that shows that there is a lot more to Andalucia than sun and sand if you take the effort to get away from the concrete coastal strip. " More >

  "THE EXCITING RED WATERS OF THE RIO TINTO RIVER"
  "I have always wanted to visit the Rio Tinto Mines not only because I was curious to see the much talked about red water river but also because of there being an “English Town” in the vicinity.

• Donana National Park (Parque Nacional de Donana)
  "Lovely place - long journey to get there"
  "We had heard about this park and wanted to visit. From Estepona it was a 4 hour journey there, and again back via a different route. It is in the middle of nowhere. Missed El Rocio - maybe worth a quick visit if you are there. It is host to a pilgrimage May/June (Pentecost time) full of travelle..."rs with horses. Donana is huge - take the tour because you won't be allowed access to most of it (and book in advance if possible). Wide variety of landscapes, birds, wild animals. Our highlights were the flamingoes and glossy ibis, the sand dunes, wild boar - ending with a high speed drive back along the beach for 30 kms. A good guide and great fun. " More >
