    Hiking

    It is a very interesting town, with a large number of silver mines in its surroundings. In the La Plata museum everything related to the exploitation of these mines is explained. Very close is the Bornova River, whose canyon can be visited in some sections, with a beautiful landscape. There are also good bar and restaurant services.

    Hiking

    The town of Hiendelaencina is located at the foot of the Alto Rey mountain range, next to the Bornova river canyon. Until 1844 it was a modest village, but the discovery that year of silver and the construction of what were the most important silver mines in Spain in its entire history, completely transformed it and caused a small "silver fever" in the region. . Currently, they are abandoned, but they constitute a notable cultural, natural and geological heritage.

    Incredibly beautiful remote village that rose to prominence thanks to the silver mines.
