Rodalquilar forms a semicircle of wrought and greening land, with some appearance of amphitheater. The rocky mountains raise its walls as if they wanted to shelter it and defend it from the vulgarity of civilized life, by adoring it in its steep breasts of stone. Only in the east had its Roman circus wall collapsed, and through the tear the waters prolonged the blue of the sky and extended the horizon towards the border of Algeria, as if in its continuous beat they had undermined and sunk its wall. ” (Carmen de Burgos "Colombine" / Writer born in Rodalquilar in 1867) Rodalquilar Carmen de Burgos's description is still current. Rodalquilar is one of the most interesting places in the province of Almería and a must-see within the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata for its history, its gold mines, its spectacular landscape, its beaches, its people ... and all that It remains to be discovered "on the ground". The Mining Town, where the miners lived and nowadays abandoned, deserves a walk. There are currently no mining operations in Rodalquilar, it has become a small tourist town with spectacular surroundings.
