Abstract: | The Riotinto and Almadén mining areas in Spain are two of the best examples of European experiences in restoring the heritage of traditional mining activities. Initially promoted by public administrations, particularly municipal bodies, with the active participation of private companies and the local community, these projects are an international reference in the protection and preservation of the mining-industrial heritage and the tourist use of buildings, machines and landscapes. |
