    Not far from here, in the Jaroso ravine, a rich seam of argentiferous galena was discovered in 1838. Thus began a prosperous period of mining extraction in this small mountain range that also became known as Sierra de la Plata. This particular mine, also known as Mina La Luna, in the Chaparral ravine, stands out for having the only existing wooden winch at present in Sierra Almagrera and for also having the oldest fixed extraction steam engine in Spain. .

      La Luna Mine, located in the Sierra Almagrera (Almería), is part of a historic group of mining operations that were key to the region's economic development during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

      La Luna Mine was one of the most important mines for lead and silver extraction, especially after the discovery of the Jaroso vein in 1838, which marked the mining boom in the area.
