Tips

The mine is made up of a set of 11 galleries that go beyond the southern slope of the Olivet del Ros.
The elements that make up this infrastructure are the loader, the mounts, which were supported by the station to lower the material from the mountain, and the trenches.
The loader and the bridge over the torrent are the two most characteristic elements of this mine, which define the protection perimeter of this heritage element declared a Site of National Interest in the Gavarres area. The mine was closed in 1918, after only 26 years of operation.
It is forbidden to enter the mines, not only for safety reasons, but also because they are the refuge of several species of bats, which are key to the health of an ecosystem such as the Mediterranean forest, which is at the heart of human pressure on its habitats.

Old mines, together with that of Nen Jesús, extracted iron ores. Exploited by Mines Celrà and Hierros de Celrà between 1892 and 1918. You can enter a few meters inside with just a flashlight.
