On Board The Mining Train of Hotel Mieres del Camino in Mieres. Official Website.
On Board the Mining Train
At El Cadavíu Station, the starting and ending point of the mining train, you will find two spacious parking areas adapted for cars, buses, and motorhomes, offering accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
Inside the building, you will find an exhibition of mining tools and equipment, complemented by a display of historical photographs and an audiovisual presentation that provides context for the journey. Visitor information and ticket purchases are also available at this location.
Discovering the Mining Heritage Along the Samuño River
On board the mining train, the journey begins alongside the Samuño River before venturing into the mining gallery. Throughout the trip, a detailed audio recording provides explanations about the various elements encountered along the route. Along the way, you will see the La Trechora Mine complex and the false tunnel that passes through it.
The history of La Trechora is closely linked to the development of several mining companies, from Sociedad Minero-Cántabra to its final integration into Hunosa through Sociedad Metalúrgica Duro Felguera.
Exploring the Light Shaft
The Samuño Shaft bears witness to decades of mining activity and remains an important landmark in the valley. Deepened during the 1940s, it belonged to Carbones Asturianos, a company that operated numerous mines throughout the region since its foundation in 1890.
Emilia Adit
The experience becomes even more immersive as visitors enter the Emilia Adit, a mine that is more than 120 years old. The characteristic smell, the unique underground atmosphere, and the detailed explanations guide visitors through water seepages, vegetation formations, original machinery, and coal seams. This railway journey stands out as the longest route in Spain through a real mining gallery.
From Industry to Art
Thanks to its deepening during the 1920s, the San Luis Shaft is a highly significant part of Asturias' industrial heritage. The ascent from the lower level to the shaft tower, accompanied by a guide, reveals the transformation of industry into art. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest, the San Luis Shaft offers a guided tour exploring its original facilities, from the Engine House to the Interpretation Centre of the Protected Landscape of the Mining Valleys.
