Hiking

Mining town built in 1952 to attract labor to work in the Almagrera mines. The town had a small hospital with a specialist in traumatology and even a cinema, with the idea that the workers would have their needs covered and would not require long journeys.

Hiking

The El Arteal Mining Village, located in Cuevas del Almanzora (Almería), is one of the most unique industrial complexes in the Sierra Almagrera, with a history linked to lead and silver mining since the 19th century.
The village was built in 1944 by Minas de Almagrera, S.A. (MASA), in collaboration with the National Institute of Industry (INI), to revive mining in the area after decades of decline.
