The wolfram mines of Barruecopardo

Curiosity · Barruecopardo, Vitigudino, Salamanca

Image of Barruecopardo, not of the place itself.

The village opened and closed its wolfram mines to the rhythm of the world wars: 1917, 1940 and a working that lasted until 1985. The mineral, strategic for armour steel, left here on the way to the factories of the north.
