The Cable Inglés: a historical mining railway pier
The Cable Inglés, or English Pier, in Almeria is an ancient loading pier that was used in the 20th century to transport iron from the train station to the cargo ships docked in the port of Almeria. The pier remained operational until it was closed down in 1973. It is an important symbol of Spain’s industrial heritage and the mining and rail boom that marked the century in Europe.
This fascinating iron, steel and concrete pier runs through Playa de las Almadrabillas. It was built to connect the Train Station of Almeria directly to the port so cargo ships could be loaded with iron ore from the local mines.
The Cable Inglés is an important landmark and it was declared a Cultural Heritage Site. Preserving the pier is preserving an important part of the economic history of Andalusia and Spain.
Many railway bridges of the 20th century were heavily influenced by the French engineer Gustave Eiffel. The design of the Cable Inglés used Eiffel’s technique of iron pillars with sleepers to provide the necessary support to the structure.
