A group of abandoned copper mines worked from 1903 to 1958.

No products were found matching your selection.

Mindat lists three minerals from the site – chalcopyrite, malachite, and quartz.

I was not able to find much information on this site, possibly due to a lack of spanish language proficiency. Apparently you can find more information in a book entitled ‘Historia y guía geológica-minera de Cantabria’.

They may be known as “La Presura Mines” too.

In Spanish they will be Minas de Unión Campurriana or Minas de La Presura.
