    Hiking

    In 1892, Arístides de Artiñano from Barcelona registered two iron ore mines with the names "Niño Jesús" and "Victoria Esperanza", after having carried out some promising prospecting. It was already known that iron had been mined in this area of Les Gavarres in the s. XVIII, and the growing Catalan industrial economy of the s. XIX needed this raw material to develop, along with coal.

    The mine is made up of a set of galleries that drill the northern side of the Bacs mountain at different levels, with 23 open galleries located.
