Mina
Concepción is a mining exploitation in the Rio Tinto area which was originally
mined by the Tartessians, Phoenicians and later the Romans, in modern times the
production started in 1853 and in 1860 the property is sale to the Ibarra y
Cía. Family from Seville, and after a few years of work they will sell it to a
British firm that already bought the nearby mine Poderosa, this company was
United Alkali Ltd whom were part of the imperial Chemicals Ltd, a company of
chemical products controlling the majority of chemical products in the United kingdom.
This is a
very interesting area with lots of industrial remnants, incredible colours, and
interesting shapes in the landscape and with a romantic touch to it, remote and
lonely. Around here we can see the Odiel Bridge as well.
