Cala de la Mina is the wildest and most secluded of the three coves of El Albir<\/a><\/strong>. It hides at the foot of the cliffs of the Serra Gelada<\/a><\/strong>: no sand, no beach bars and almost no people, with water so clear that it has earned a reputation as one of the best spots for snorkeling in the whole area. And its name is no coincidence. There were once ochre mines here, and their traces still remain scattered across the ravine. <\/p>

As an Albir local<\/a><\/strong>, it’s one of those coves you only show to someone you truly want to get to know the mountains from the inside. Let me tell you what you’ll find, how to get there without any scares, the real history of its mines and how to make the most of it. <\/p>
