These were traded all over Cataluña. The mines were in production for over 800 years by farming and sheep-raising communities.
Today more than 100 extraction points, mainly within the town limits of Gavà are known.
There is a museum which houses the original objects found (tools, pottery, etc.) and an archeological park at the main site which is very well presented.
Interactive explanations in English, Spanish and Catalan languages.
