Maestrazgo Mining Park & Culla Excursion

We'll pick you up at the Tourist Office in Peñíscola at 8:10 am and set off by minibus to the region of Alto Maestrazgo. After a little over an hour's drive, we'll arrive at the Maestrazgo Mining Park, where you'll experience life as a miner.

The mining train will take us to the Victoria mine, our first underground gallery. As we explore these cavities, illustrative videos and the guide's explanations will provide insight into historical mining practices. You'll see original mining carts and tools used centuries ago.

Next, we'll visit the Esperanza mine to learn about the minerals extracted from this area of Levante, with a focus on the geological conditions of the mines. You'll also observe roots breaking through walls, natural pools, and centuries-old stalactites.

Afterwards, we will head to Culla, a historic town known for being the last to fall to the Templars. We will learn about Culla's Templar roots and visit notable monuments, including the 11th-century castle, the Commander's granary, and the old hospital.

Finally, we will begin our return to Peñíscola, with an arrival time scheduled for 2:15 pm.
