Las Médulas

Highlight • Historical Site

Las Médulas, located in Bierzo, northwest of the Montes Aquilanos and along the valley of the Sil River, is a fantastic landscape resulting from Roman gold mining. This place has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Although no one would say that the steep cliffs hide, beneath their bowels, the gold of the Romans, the mining exploitation silenced for centuries has become a beautiful landscape of great tourist attraction.

La Cuevona (Las Médulas)

Highlight • Cave

La Cuevona: It is a gallery excavated in the mountain, part of the ancient network of tunnels and galleries used in Roman mining exploitation.
It has the highest height of all the existing galleries in Las Médulas.
It is an important reference point for those exploring the Las Valiñas path.
As you pass in front of La Cuevona, you will climb a small slope protected by a railing of wooden logs.
I hope you enjoy exploring La Cuevona! 🏞️🚶‍♂️
