This location that could easily be featured in some videogame like Uncharted or Tomb Raider is the Andrabide quarry in Ereño (Bizkaia).
It was exploited by Romans 2,000 years ago, and it's been producing red marble until 1989. This marble - known as Ereño red or Bilbao red - is a very special one, in fact: actually it isn't marble, but recrystallized reef limestone rock, which means that its the fossilized remains of a prehistoric reef, and as such, it's easily recognisable by its molluscs:
This marble has travelled since Roman times throughout Euskal Herria, Spain, France, America, and even The Vatican.
So if you ever see this weird red marble with molluscs in it, you know where it came from!
