Between greenery and silence, the ruins of the Azibrais Mines retain echoes of a feverish time. In the 1940s, the tungsten extracted here fueled the war effort on both sides of the conflict, making Portugal a neutral… and prosperous country.
Today, only stones and memories remain, a piece of industrial history hidden in the serenity of nature.
