The remains of the miner village of Rodalquilar, with its line of demolished housings at the end of the last century, are stretched on foot of the hill of the Cinto, where still you can see the instalations of the old industry that got quartz rich in gold. Structures of concrete, circular deposits for treating the mineral, workshops, shafts and danger galleries sum up the random story of this group of fishermen at the Natural Park of the Cabo de Gata.
