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 location has a network of underground galleries located at a depth of 2,600 feet (800 metres) and offers views of the Upper Maestrazgo region.

For 2 hours, we'll tour the Victoria and Esperanza mines, two historical underground sites. We'll board the train to the Victoria mine, where we will put on safety helmets and explore these underground labyrinths.

Questions about miners' work in the past, tools used, and extracted minerals will be answered with the help of an expert guide and informative videos. You will also see the original mining carts and various devices used at that time, along with geological formations of the galleries.

After returning to the train, we will visit the Esperanza mine to admire its natural features and learn more about the miners' work.

Subsequently, we'll head to Culla to follow the Temple Route, which combines nature and history. Walking through the town's old quarter, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, we'll discuss the cultures that have influenced its cobbled streets, passing the 11th-century castle and the old hospital.

At the end of our tour, we will return to Benicassim, arriving by 1:40 pm.
