Hi,
I have been in Bellmunt del Priorat, a short time ago.
This is (or was ) a very interesting Pb mine region not too far from Tarragona, I had visited several times, the last time about 10 years ago. To my astonishment many mines (mostly shafts) looked as I had left them a long time ago. And the biggest mine, Mina Eugenia, is now a mine museum. So I visited as a tourist the underground I had prospected a long time ago, looking for minerals. Quite a strange feeling!
