Muelle de Tharsis

Ore loading docks once were a common sight on Spanish coasts: a symbol of the foreign exploitation of the local mining industry. Lead, zync, iron, silver and more from Spain reached the factories of the most industrialized countries of Europe.
Today just a few of these docks survive, most of them abandoned. Just like the Tharsis dock on the river Odiel, part of the Port of Huelva, active between 1871 and 1992. Today the news that the Huelva Port Authority wants to restore it in 2017 and is looking for funds from the Spanish Ministry of Public Works.
