The celebration of civil ceremonies in the area of Las Minas de Río Tinto, in Nerva (Huelva) has something from another planet. After the civil ceremony, the bride and groom can take the opportunity to have a wedding photo shoot in an area that really resembles the planet Mars. The Rio Tinto Mines are one of the oldest mining areas in the world. Its name is associated with the Red River, which flows through its territory and was a synonym of mining worldwide with the first operations that began 5,000 years ago.
It is located in the east of the province of Huelva, in the municipality of Nerva and is listed and included as a Protected Landscape, Natural Monument or Asset of Cultural Interest.
To understand the footprint of 100 years of British presence in Rio Tinto, we also offer a tour of the English neighborhood where the directors of the Rio Tinto Company Ltd. lived, isolated from the local workers, maintaining their customs and privileges. At the heart of this British “island” is the House 21Built in 1885, it is preserved with the details, furniture and furnishings so that you can live their way of life, feel the ritual of tea time or imagine the leisure time around sports and games.
