Museum in an abandoned mine, exhibiting objects and evoking the importance of certain beliefs and ceremonies of the miners

The tours (in Spanish) take you to an abandoned mine that has been converted into a museum displaying artifacts and relating the importance of certain beliefs and ceremonies of the miners. Do not miss the two shrines in honor of El Tío. It is usually made up of the minerals present in the mine and it embodies the devil that haunts the tunnels. He is worshipped by making offerings to him, necklaces of flowers, alcohol, cigarettes... A room exhibits carnival costumes
