Witness this alien-looking river in Andalusia that flows blood-red due to iron and copper deposits from ancient mining. The acidic water creates a Mars-like landscape that NASA has used for research. Drive the scenic route through mining country and bring your camera - the contrast between red water and surrounding greenery is surreal.
