Places of interest

The lead mines are a paradise for geologists and people who collect unusual stones and minerals. Lead-mining was particularly important in this area thanks to the rich veins of galena and millerite. The Eugènia mine is open to the public and is also known as the "Big MIne". It was the biggest for its dimensions, depth and yield. The second mine is the MIna Règia. The Art Nouveau "Casa de les Mines" is of equal importance and dates from the early 20th century. The building was used for the director's office, the laboratory and residence of the management. In this village there is also a church (Església de Santa Llúcia) built in the 18th century. Neoclassical in style, with a white bell-tower, the only white one in the whole county.

Hem estat gaudint de la vostra comarca aquests dies i dir-vos que hem estat passejant i parlant amb algunes persones dels diferents pobles. Hem après molt i considero que encara teniu molt molt per a ensenyar a la resta de catalans i al món sencer!!!. Ens han atès molt molt bé a tots els llocs on hem estat, des de l'allotjament al Portal del priorat, a La Morera; fins a la Catedral del Vi a Falset o a les Mines de Bellmunt on el noi que ens va fer de guia mereix un deu... ho va fer molt molt bé!!! També hem menjat molt molt bé a Porrera, a Cal Carlets; al Piró de Gratallops, i al Celler de l'Aspic a Falset... molt molt ben atesos i un menjar i uns vins de la màxima qualitat!!!. I què dir-ne dels cellers que hem visitat: el Cecilio de Gratallops, les Cooperatives de Falset-Marça, el Celler el Mas Roig, .. i els olis de Cabacés, amb la Neus venent a Escaladei, que per cert també un racó ben maco i amb una visita guiada molt completa i molt ben atesos... Que res! teniu una comarca de les millors del món!!! Visca el Priorat i els i les prioratines!!!
