Algunas iniciativas de turismo minero en Castilla-La Mancha

Abstract

During the last years, the heritage of the mining and industrial activities has acquired a great importance within the framework of the local development. In the region of Castilla-La Mancha, the elements derived from the mining-industrialist legacy are incorporated slowly but in a progressive from, like resources into the local development of the most unfavourables territories. We analyze, like examples, some initiatives linked to specific tourist routes: the opening of an iron mine in the province of Cuenca and the putting in value of two traditional mining areas such as the regions of Almadén and the Puertollano, both of then province of Ciudad Real.
