RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VISITS

The whole route must be carried out with a helmet, which is given to the visitants before acceding to the dif- ferent stages. In the narrowest streets, you must avoid causing crowds. Therefore, you must follow the indica- tions given by the guides who go with the groups and only those places where the access is allowed can be visited. Despite the fact that the conditioning of the mine makes the route be totally safe, the caution is essential in order to avoid accidents.
