NETWORK OF TOURIST RESOURCES: MINING VILLAGE OF VENEIRA DE ROQUES

The commitment of the municipality of A Pobra do Brollón to promote tourism has one of its fundamental pillars in the Tourist Resources Network. With the creation of the Network, the aim is to disseminate and highlight the main tourist resources of the municipality. Two points of reference of the network are the Mining Village of Veneira de Roques and the Roques Mineral Deposit, where paths have been prepared to access the resources and interpretive panels have been placed.

The importance and usefulness of iron generated a wide network of mining facilities for its exploitation. For example, the Minas de Roques stand out, whose activity began during the Roman rule, experiencing its greatest splendor between the Middle Ages and the end of the 19th century. Linked to the mineral deposit of Roques, a town was established in the place, which was born to welcome the miners and which over time became a rural village, A Veneira de Roques.
