    Magnífica experiencia. Alicia, la guía te hace la visita muy agradable y la explicación muy amena e interesante. La mina está muy bien cuidada. Con la explicación y la visita al interior de la mina, te hacen sentir la dureza de estos trabajos y más en aquella época. Merece muchísimo la pena ir a verlo

    A very interesting visit, both the museum and the mine. A ten for the guide who accompanied us on the visit, I don't remember her name but it's easy to know who she is because she has a French accent. He explained everything to us very well, making the visit enjoyable and educational. You must reserve before going, by calling or sending an email to the phone number or address indicated on their website. Highly recommended to go with children.

    Visita recomendada tanto para adultos como para niños. Se debe llamar antes para reservar. El museo está muy bien, tanto en la presentación de la historia de la mina como en el material expuesto. Bajas a una antigua galería donde te explican como era todo a principios de siglo cuando se inauguró.

    It's very good, you get an idea of ​​what the working conditions of those poor people were like. The castle is very beautiful, made of wood, and the guide explained everything very well. The only thing is that they do not have cheaper tickets for large families.

    (Translated by Google) The museum is very beautiful and interesting. The exhibition is not very big but the view of the old mine is worth it. I believe, however, that some element should have better conservation, but without a doubt the visit is highly recommended. (Original) El museo es muy bonito e interesante. La exposición no es muy grande pero la vista a la antigua mina merece la pena. Creo, no obstante, que algún elemento debería tener una mejor conservación, pero sin duda la visita es muy recomendable.

    Excepcional rehabilitación de un espacio minero con mucha historia y muy interesante conocer, por todo lo que guarda entre sus galerías. La visita hay que reservarla con antelación, porque los grupos son de 12 personas. El explicación interactiva y muy interesante. Merece la pena de verdad.

    Very interesting place. You get a visit to the mine if you book beforehand, though most of the old mine is flooded with water so you'll get down until -20 meters only of more than -150 or so.

    The beach is fine sand. Very flat, ideal for walking along the shore. It has a lifeguard service, a shower and an access ramp for chairs, wheelchairs and strollers, as well as stairs. The parking lot is about 200 m from the access to the beach, which is reached by crossing a small arch that remains of primitive sheet metal.

    You have to reserve to see the mines. The museum is not necessary, but it is better to go early so you can see everything. Very interesting, worth paying to see.

  • 5/5 Julio R. 8 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    A lot of history of the mine from 1830 up to now. It is possible to visit the underground galleries. Booking in advance is required

  • 5/5 Ivan G. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place where the museum is located is fantastic. For a guided tour it is better to book. Your website is very clear. What was the Arnao mine has the first vertical shaft in Spain and it extended under the sea, being the only one in Europe in this sense. The surrounding area is wide and well-kept. There is a bar on the esplanade and access to the beach. From there there is a very beautiful coastal route that reaches Santa Maria del Mar. It is worth climbing a few meters to enjoy great views. (Original) El lugar donde se sitúa el museo es fantástico. Para una visita guiada es mejor reservar. Su página web es muy clara. Lo que fue la mina de Arnao tiene el primer pozo vertical de España y se extendía bajo el mar, siendo la única de Europa en este sentido. La zona que le rodea es amplia y cuidada. Existe un bar en la explanada y acceso a la playa. Desde allí existe una ruta costera muy bonita que llega hasta Santa Maria del Mar. Merece la pena hacer unos cuantos metros de subida para disfrutar de estupendas vistas.
