What you can expect

  • Discover Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, one of the cities with the greatest industrial and railway heritage in Andalusia, and travel back in time to learn how coal and the railway transformed an entire region.

    The experience begins at the historic Almacén Central, where you can see old locomotives and railway equipment and learn about the importance of the train in the development of mining and industry in the area.

    We'll continue our tour of the old industrial complex, passing by the historic foundry, the Cerco Industrial, and the old Peñarroya station. We'll also take in the views from the Mirador de la Mina vantage point, where you'll discover what the mining operation that drove the town's growth for decades was like.

    The visit continues at the Geological and Mining Museum of Peñarroya, where you'll see an interesting collection of minerals, fossils, tools, and items related to the history of mining and geology in the Guadiato Valley.

    Finally, we'll stroll through the unique French Quarter, built for the mining company's engineers and managers, a space that preserves an architecture different from the rest of Andalusia and reflects the European influence in the city.

    Before the drop-off, you'll enjoy free time for lunch in the centre of Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, where you can sample local products and discover the region's traditional cuisine.

    A unique experience to discover the history of the railway, mining, and the industrial heritage of one of the most surprising corners of the province of Córdoba.
