Cycling

In the idyllic landscape of the mountain of Covadonga, there has been intensive mining of iron and manganese minerals over a period of 130 years until 1979.

Hiking

You find yourself before the ruins of an iron and magnesium mine. You can see a small recreation of the mine, including the tunnel and the tracks where the minerals were transported.

Hiking

On the way from the bus stop to the Lagos, you pass the remains of an old mine - recognizable by the rails that are still in place and an old lorry. The rock face into which the mine shaft disappears is very photogenic.
