Nestled in the rugged landscape of Cuevas del Almanzora, Almeria, the Mina de los Tres Pacos stands as a testament to the region’s rich mining history. This iron ore mine, established in the late 19th century, played a significant role in the local economy. The mine was initially developed by Pedro Pascual de Gandarias, a prominent industrialist, and saw its peak production in the early 20th century. The installation of a 13.35 km aerial cableway in 1912, designed by Adolf Bleichert & Co., was a remarkable engineering feat of its time, facilitating the transport of minerals to the Cala de las Picotas.
