The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the valley here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

It is said that before the mine was closed, a group of miners hid a large amount of gold and precious metals inside the deepest tunnels of the La Pinosa mine. The myth says that these miners were part of a secret network that operated during wars and that they accumulated looted or stolen goods, with the idea of recovering them after the conflicts. However, with the abandonment of the mine and the mysterious deaths of several miners, the treasure was lost forever, hidden in the collapsed tunnels.
