Rincon del Hornillo

A lovely spot with its characteristic flight of wide mosaic covered stairs, opposite the Hornillo beach. This is the hand work of its creator, Juan Martinez casuco, begun in 1985.

He has been working on both the design and the actual building ever since, laying the myriad pieces of tile and creting the wrought iron work overlooking the Mediterranean. Note this shields of the towns of Aguilas and Lorca the silhouettes of the Castle the Mill the turkey hen of the Pond, etc…

The wrought iron work on the main railings and the weather vein showing the profile of the artist himself are curious, too.

An old mineral loading facility built by the British Ferrocarriles del Sureste company at the end nineteenth century and opened in 1903. It incorporated a system for loading and unloading minerals which was revolutionary for its times, similar to those which can be found in huelva and Bilbao.

At present it is no longer in use. Easy to reach situated in the El Hornillo bay 3kms from the center of Aguilas.

Recently it has been made an historical site.
