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 first network of underground galleries, the Victoria mine. As we explore these cavities, videos and the guide's explanations will illustrate how people worked in these mines. You'll see original mining carts and other tools used hundreds of years ago.

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

Back on the surface, we'll head to Culla. This historic town was the last to be taken by the Templars. We'll learn about the Templar roots of Culla and see its notable monuments, including the 11th-century castle, the Commander's granary, and the old hospital.

Finally, we'll return to Peñíscola, with arrival scheduled for 2:15 pm.
