Mollarri mineral loading dock

The mineral loading dock of Malla Harria or Mollari, Zarautz, is perched on a spot overlooking the beach of Zarautz from the east, known as Talaimendi.

The dock was built in the early 20th century to provide an outlet to the sea for the iron extracted from the mines of Andazarrate, in the locality of Asteasu, over 10 km away. The iron was carried in wagons along an aerial track supported by 112 piers.
