The Museo Minero de Escucha is not just a museum, but an authentic mining experience. It is situated inside a restored lignite mine called 'Se Verá'. This unique setting allows visitors to truly immerse themselves in the history and workings of a real mine.
Visitors access the Museo Minero de Escucha through the entrance gallery, then descend in two wagons similar to those used when the mine was active, to a depth of nearly 200 meters. This journey into the depths of the mine offers a unique perspective on the conditions and challenges faced by miners.
At the end of the tour of the Museo Minero de Escucha, visitors can see an old natural coal seam. This is possibly the only one of its kind that can be visited in Spain, making it a unique and educational experience for all visitors.
