Name(s) in local language(s):
Cierco


Low temperature, base metal vein system telescoping a barren skarn.

Important mines, Zn and Pb with a significant proportion of Ag, exploited since ancient times until the year 1981.
Three veins were exploited, known by the names "Obaga" "Solana" and "Rey" with potencies of up to three meters, situated in a ravine, with a large gap, so they constructed a cableway for unloading ore.
There are remains of buildings and dumps at the exit of the gorge.
