    Mountain biking

    Rosas is a mine discovered in 1832, activated in 1851 and closed in 1980 where lead, iron and zinc were extracted. Today it houses an eco-museum, an accommodation facility, a restaurant and a bar (check the opening dates). It is also a stop on the Santa Barbara Mining Trail.

    Hiking

    The Rosas Mine, active from 1849 to 1980 for the extraction of silver-bearing galena, lead, and zinc, is now a multi-purpose museum that chronicles the mining history of the Sulcis region. A guided tour allows access to the underground tunnels and a close-up look at the restored structures, while nearby hiking trails allow visitors to explore the natural environment and traces of the mining activity.

    Hiking

    Interesting facility, lost places...but the opening times on the internet are wrong. Apparently mostly closed. The outdoor facilities can still be visited though. There are lovely shady picnic areas, and the water taps work!
