Puerto de la Laja, Cultural heritage quay in El Granado, Spain
Puerto de La Laja extends along the Guadiana River banks, featuring a mineral loading dock and remnants of industrial railway infrastructure.
The port gained importance in the late 19th century when The Bede Metal Chemical Ltd constructed a railway line connecting it to the Cabeza de Pasto mine.
The industrial heritage site includes the dock, urban center, mining railway route, and Cañada del Sardón settlement, recognized by the Andalusian Historical Heritage Catalog.
Visitors can reach the port area through local transportation routes from El Granado, with the site offering views of the Guadiana River and industrial remains.
The mineral loading dock served as an essential export point for manganese from Santa Catalina Mines until mining operations ceased in 1965.
