Attractions and Places To See around Avià - Top 20

The Mina dels Graus Located in the mountainous surroundings of Peguera, in the municipality of Fígols (Berguedà), the Mina dels Graus is part of the 20th century mining heritage linked to the exploitation of lignite in the region. This mine, despite not being large, played a key role in the logistics network that connected the different operations of Peguera with the mining colony of Cercs. One of the most outstanding elements of the area is the tunnel of Graus, excavated directly into the rock and with a length of approximately 10 meters. This tunnel allowed the passage of the mining railway, which transported coal from the mines to the station of Fígols. The surroundings also preserve vestiges of hoppers, deposits and other structures related to the transport and storage of coal. The Mina dels Graus was part of a complex network of infrastructures that included cable cars, inclined planes and railways, designed to facilitate the movement of the mineral in steep and difficult-to-access terrain. It was a strategic link between the Graell cable car and the Realidad mine, which connected the various operations. Today, the area is accessible via different hiking and mountain bike routes, and has become a place of interest for lovers of nature, industrial history and mining heritage. The Mina dels Graus is a silent witness to a time when mining was the economic engine of Berguedà and a key player in the transformation of the territory.

Located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, Peguera is an abandoned village belonging to the municipality of Fígols. Its peak mining activity was experienced in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, thanks to the high level of mining activity. The abandonment of the coal mines further depopulated Peguera, leaving it in its current state, where most of the houses are in ruins.
