The Rio Tinto (or Red River) is a unique river in southwestern Spain. It is highly acidic which results in minerals disolving in the water, especially iron, which gives the river the colour of tomato soup. The area has been mined for copper, silver and gold for over 5000 years, but all mining operations ceased in 2001. There is an ongoing discussion as to what the reason is for its acidity, whether it is solely due to pollution as a result of the mining or whether the acidity comes from natural causes.
I found the river to be incredibly photogenic and took a whole series of photos from a bridge. Here you see a small stretch of the shoreline.
