VISIT TO THE ESCUCHA MINING MUSEUM
We arrived to a main gallery. It was very dark. Our guide, who was called Rosa, explained us how miners used to work.


On October the 30 Th, at 10 o clock in the morning, we set off towards Escucha in order to visit the underground mining museum. We made two groups.
First, we entered the shop-equipment room, where a woman helped us to put on the helmet, and a belt with a battery and lifesaving equipment.

After that, we sat on a train and we went down to the bottom of the mine.
Then we went to another gallery to see Saint Barbara, who is the Saint of the miners, she was in a wagon.


In the mine there were dolls that looked like men at work. Later we saw a donkey with a wagon. The train took us up to another gallery to see a milling machine. We also saw a transporting tape.
In the tunnels there were ventilation holes and iron and wooden beams. In the last tunnel there was a dynamite box. Dynamite used to be put in the walls and then it was made to blow up with a detonator to extract the coal.




At about 1 in the afternoon we sat on the train seats and went up to outside; then we visited an exhibition room with very big machines. Later we went to the bus to get our sandwiches and then we entered a pub to eat.
