Asturias converts mining galleries into technology centers. An underground laboratory related to the space industry or greenhouses six hundred meters deep are some of the projects that will be developed in part of the already inactive wells.
After a century and a half of mining activity that employed up to fifty thousand people in Asturias, the Principality is working on four large projects in the two main basins. The objective is to take advantage of one of the great heritages of the region: the five thousand kilometers of galleries and spaces of the mining deposits.
