Las Médulas is a historic gold mining site in northern Spain, near the town of Ponferrada in the Castile-Leon region. In the 1st century AD, the Roman imperial authorities began exploiting the gold deposits in this region, using a technique based on hydraulic power. After two centuries of work, the Romans withdrew, leaving behind a devastated landscape. 🌄🌋💥 #lasmedulas #ponferrada #LasMédulas #PonferradaTurismo #PatrimónioHistórico #NaturezaemPonferrada #VisitaPonferrada #Ecoturismo #AventuraemPonferrada #PaisagensdaEspanha #DescobrindoPonferrada #MineraçãoRomana #espanha #sonya350 #vmribeiro #GoldMiningHistory #SpanishHeritage #AncientCivilization #ExploreSpain #CulturalLandmarks #NaturalWonder #MiningLegacy #LandscapeBeauty #HistoricalTreasure
