Old Ochre Mine
About the place
The Old Ochre Mine is a picturesque coastal site, representing a series of open excavations in cliffs tinged with rich terracotta and golden hues. From the Old Ochre Mine grounds, views stretch across the crystal-clear waters of the bay and the sheer cliffs of the Serra Gelada Natural Park. The path to the site follows a well-maintained trail leading toward the Albir Lighthouse, making the Old Ochre Mine an accessible stop for family hikes. The contrast between the vibrant mineral deposits and the azure Mediterranean Sea creates a unique landscape that echoes the industrial history of this region.
