January 2, 2019 the Rodalquilar Geominera Guide will be
presented, consisting of five perfectly detailed routes accompanied by an
extensive description of the mines, quarries and facilities of this famous
Almerian gold deposit.
The author, Francisco Hernández Ortiz, completes it with
data on metal mining in the southern part of the Sierra and the mining of
tailings. He will be accompanied by his editor and great connoisseur of the
Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, Antonio Gil Albarracín, Councilman Alexis
Pineda Díaz and Julián Vera Sánchez of the Friends of the Park Association
The Department of Tourism, Historical Heritage and
Beaches of the City of Níjar has collaborated in the publication of a guide
that it considers interesting and necessary, in the words of Alexis Pineda
"people venture to explore the area and do it without a guide to indicate
the roads and historical places, which implies a great risk for the safety of
people; it is the first warning we will find in this precious book that invites
us to continue knowing and enjoying our municipality, its history and its
heritage.”
It also highlights the importance for Níjar Geotourism
and scholars of geology out of season.
The Geominera Guide can be purchased in almost all the
bookstores of the province and in the Shop of Los Milagros de Rodalquilar,
which has also collaborated in this publication as well as Friends of the Park
and the own council. Its price - six euros - makes it affordable to all pockets
and recently published is already one of the essentials in the literature of
the walkers of this land.
