These routes connect mining infrastructure, altered landscapes, and workers’ memories, offering a unique insight into Europe’s shared mining history.

Sustainable tourism and mining memory
The Caminos Mineros project is firmly rooted in the principles of sustainable and slow tourism, encouraging respectful engagement with mining heritage sites while fostering a deeper understanding of the transformation of mining territories and communities.
