Visiting the Priorat with young children
At any time of year
The Priorat County or “comarca” offers a great variety of tours and activities for spending time with the family at any time of year.
Lead Mine and Museum
Without a doubt, one of the most popular ones for little ones is a tour of the Bellmunt del Priorat Lead Mining Museum and Mines, a few kilometres from the capital of the county, Falset.
This mineral and metallurgical complex was once the most important in Catalonia in terms of lead ore extraction.
Visitors can explore the first underground gallery which was excavated in the 19th century. Accompanied by a guide, we can see replicas of miners working as well as visiting a modern exhibition area above ground, located in the old workshops where the mineral was processed.
