Hiking

To see these caves, it is better to access from the Les Aigües road, it is more accessible and less dangerous, from the Coll del Portell, it is downhill and the trails are loose stone.

Hiking

They are small caves, within the area between Coll del Portell and Carretera de les Aigües, the best access is from the Aigües road and they are also better seen when going to see them, from Coll del Portell you can also go down although the path, being made of very loose slate stone, is more slippery.

Hiking

According to Sergi Falguera, a collaborator of the Friends of the Geology Museum association, the site began to be exploited in the 17th century, but the most important extractions date back to the 19th and 20th centuries, when it was named Juanita. . It was part of the land of the Masia de Santa Caterina, in the neighborhood of Pedralbes.

The mine still has several access tunnels. It is low in water, but it is not drinkable because it carries the acid that is formed from the oxide of minerals
