• The Mimbre mine path starts at the hermitage of the Virgen de Linarejos and passes the San Luis smelter, the Calvario mine, the Mimbre mine and the San Vicente shaft.
  • One of the mining railways of Linares ran along this path, served by the old Linares–Los Salidos railway.
  • The Mimbre mine is one of the oldest in the area, already producing a great deal in the 17th century. Its impressive chimney, 40 metres high, can still be seen today.
  • The San Vicente shaft, 1,008 metres deep, is the deepest in this district. It is especially remembered for the tragic accident in which 6 miners died during the mine’s last haul.
  • May this article be a tribute to them, and to all the lives cut short by the extreme hardship of mining.
