Under the surface of the town of Hontoria de la Cantera, there is a vast network of underground galleries belonging to the old mine. Currently, the quarry has become a tourist and educational resource thanks to the 'Heritage of Light' project. Monumental complex' that aims to underline the importance and quality of the limestone extracted.
