      La Cuevona and La Encantada are two impressive places in Las Médulas, an area with a rich mining history and a unique landscape.
      The Cave:
      It is a gallery dug into the mountain, part of the ancient network of tunnels and galleries used in Roman mining exploitation.
      It has the highest height of all the existing galleries in Las Médulas.
      It is an important reference point for those exploring the Las Valiñas path.
      As you pass in front of La Cuevona, you will climb a small slope protected by a railing of wooden logs.
      The enchanted:
      It is also part of the old mining network.
      Upon arriving at La Encantada, you will be surprised by its unusual luminosity due to the entry of light from a hole at the top.
      There are two tunnels that branch off to the left and right, and from inside, you can see a beautiful landscape.
      Both caves are witnesses of Roman mining activity and offer a unique experience for visitors. I hope you enjoy exploring La Cuevona and La Encantada! 🏞️🚶‍♂️

        Just a few meters separate both cavities. The light reflected off the rock is exceptional.
