Mining in Huelva is a tour of 42 of the mines in the province of Huelva. “It’s a significant collection, including the most notable ones, but also others—the small ones particularly drew me to visit and document them, because they all have their own history,” Antonio notes. Most are now in ruins and abandoned; currently, only the Riotinto-Atalaya Mining Project, the Aguas Teñidas project, and the Sotiel mine—which has a small mining town—are still in operation. “Five kilometers away, they’ve discovered the Magdalena Mine, one of the few recently discovered sites, which is very rich in copper production,” the author notes, adding that the vast majority of the mines in the pyrite belt were already exploited by the Phoenicians and the Romans: “The province of Huelva’s reputation dates back a long time; then, in the 19th century, expert mining engineers—French, English, and German—appeared, rediscovering the mines and studying the remains of slag heaps, smelters, and ancient mining works,” he notes.
   The guide presents ten itineraries for exploring the sites, and each one includes a map of the route and its surroundings. Each entry consists of two parts: the first, in which the author describes the history of the mine, accompanied by black-and-white photographs; and the second, which describes the mine’s current condition and provides other practical information.
