The end of coal mining

Historical milestone · Escucha, Cuencas Mineras, Teruel

Image of Escucha, not of the place itself.

After reaching in 1981 a record production of more than five million tonnes, the basin closed its last underground mine in 1991 and its opencast workings in 2003. The restructuring left mining museums and a heavy loss of population.
