Maestrazgo Mining Park & Culla Day Trip

Join us for the Maestrazgo Mining Park & Culla Day Trip from Benicassim. The trip begins at 8:55 am next to the Benicassim Tourist Office. We will travel by minibus to the Maestrazgo Mining Park, featuring underground galleries at a depth of 2,600 feet (800 metres) and views of the Upper Maestrazgo region.

We will explore the Victoria and Esperanza mines for 2 hours. A train will take us to the Victoria mine, where we will don safety helmets and navigate the underground labyrinths. An expert guide will provide insights into the miners' historical work practices, tools, and extracted minerals, while showcasing original mining carts and geological formations.

After the Victoria mine, we will travel to the Esperanza mine to explore its natural features and learn about the miners' tasks.

Next, we will visit Culla to follow the Temple Route, which merges nature and history. As we walk through the town's historic quarter, recognized as an Asset of Cultural Interest, we will explore its cultural influences, the 11th-century castle, the Knight Commander's granary, and the old hospital.

Our tour will conclude as we return to Benicassim, with an estimated arrival time of 1:40 pm.
