    The mine is located in the Barranc dels Cocons and the Serra del Savinar. During its operation, ocher was extracted, a mineral used as a dye for textiles and paints. Ocher, known for its intensity of color, was even used in cave paintings.

      Former mine where ocher was extracted for dyeing. The pillars where the tracks for the wagons passed over are still clearly visible. The stones around the mine have a fantastic play of colors.
