Industry Appeals
Once minerals are extracted, the need to process and transport them has favored the development of auxiliary and satellite industries which, in the case of Andalusia, have a high degree of expertise. There are currently over 590 mining sites in the three sub-sectors comprising the Andalusian mining industry: ornamental rocks, arids and metallic mining. Furthermore, as part of the EU, Andalusia has a stable regulatory framework.
