Facts and practical information
The Rodalquilar mines are an abandoned and ruined mining complex located in the village of Rodalquilar, belonging to the municipality of Níjar, in Almería, Spain. The discovery of gold in Rodalquilar occurred by chance in 1864. The last stage corresponds to the public company Adaro. From 1956 onwards, some 600 tonnes of ore per day were processed from the Cerro del Cinto quarries. The Denver plant closed in 1966 due to the exhaustion of the seams.
