Casa 23 São Domingos Mine
Mina de São Domingos, a land of contrasts in the municipality of Mértola, its uniqueness does not leave the gaze of those who pass through here indifferent. With the river beach of Tapada Grande, which received the Blue Flag for the eleventh consecutive year, one of the most important awards with regard to bathing areas, and with the mining area of São Domingos inserted in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, which has been a sought-after place for ore extraction since ancient times. It makes this location unique!
