Maestrazgo Mining Park & Culla Day Trip

We'll meet at 8:55 am next to the Benicassim Tourist Office. From here, we'll head to the Maestrazgo Mining Park by minibus. This site features underground galleries located at a depth of 2,600 feet (800 meters) and offers views of the Upper Maestrazgo region.

For 2 hours, we'll explore the Victoria and Esperanza mines, two significant underground sites. We'll board the train to the Victoria mine, don our safety helmets, and begin our exploration of these underground labyrinths.

We'll address questions such as how miners worked historically, the tools they used, and the minerals they extracted, with assistance from an expert guide and informative videos. You will see original mining carts, various historical devices, and the geological formations of the galleries.

Next, we'll return to the train and head to the Esperanza mine for further exploration of its natural features and mining history.

After visiting the mines, we'll proceed to Culla to follow the Temple Route, which merges nature and history. As we walk through the historical old quarter, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, we will pass the 11th-century castle, the Knight Commander's granary, and the old hospital.

At the end of our tour, we'll return to Benicassim, expected to arrive at 1:40 pm.
