The Orellán Gallery is an ancient underground water conduit that extends for about 100 meters. Its original function was to transport water from inside the mountain to burst it from within. The conduit ends at a viewpoint located in a vertical cut of the mountain, offering an impressive view. These galleries were part of the mining exploitation system known as Ruinae Montium. The Romans used these structures to extract minerals and natural resources.
I hope you enjoy this historical and natural experience! 😊

An experience to enter these galleries. You can access a cul-de-sac, and the window that can be seen from the Orellán viewpoint. Really spectacular. They give you a helmet at the entrance, but still, beware of tall people.
