The Marvelous Red Mountains of Las Médulas

Las Médulas is a historic gold mining site that dates back to the Roman Empire. The scenery is stunning with red mountains formed after extensive hydraulic mining. There are many paths to explore around the site, with breathtaking views from the hilltops. The visitor center provides an informative introduction to the history and geology of the area. I compare Las Médulas with other mining sites I have visited, and I find it unique because of its geological features.
