Hiking
We find its origin in the purchase of mining operations in Huelva by the Rio Tinto Company Limited in 1873, which brought an important development for the province of Huelva. The transport of minerals from the mining basin to the port of Huelva to be able to unload them required the construction of this dock, which was built between 1874 and 1876.
The construction was designed by the English engineers Sir George Barclay Bruce and Thomas Gibson, who planned it with two platforms, an upper one where mineral trains ran and a lower one for freight trains.

Former pier (Muelle de Rio Tinto) used to transport ores from mines near Huelva to ships with railway wagons. decommissioned in 1975. Today used for tourism. Very interesting building.
