The Hornillo jetty was once one of the main wharfs in Spain linking sea transport and the mining industry. Its history began in 1887, when the English Southern Railway Company built the Águilas-Lorca section and requested a concession to build the Hornillo jetty, an infrastructure that was used for the mass extraction of minerals from the Sierra de Bacares, in Almería.
These came to Águilas via the railway and were loaded onto the quay. It began to operate at the beginning of the 20th century, and between August 1903 and April 1936 it handled a traffic of more than 11 million tonnes of minerals.
