Poblado minero de Las Menas

The mining village contains preserved industrial structures, worker residences, and management houses spread across the mountainous terrain at an elevation of 1600 meters.

The British company 'The Menas Mining Company' established this iron mining settlement in 1886, operating continuously until its closure in 1968.

The settlement reflects the social structure of mining communities through its differentiated housing areas for workers, technicians, and management personnel.

Visitors can access the site freely throughout the year and explore the remaining structures, including converted buildings that now function as a hotel and camping facilities.

During peak operations, 2900 workers traveled daily through mountain paths from surrounding villages to reach the mines, creating a network of historical walking routes.
