Mines As Pontes, Galicia (Spain)

I am in the restored mining area of “As Pontes” in Galicia (Spain). A restoration carried out between 1981 and 2012.
It has been one of the first and greatest environmental rehabilitation challenges worldwide.

After 31 years of exploitation, the extraction of coal from the mine ended.
It has gone from being the largest open-pit operation in Spain and one of the most polluting thermal power plants in Europe to having the largest artificial lake in this country and the deepest in the old continent.
The restored area, 24 km2, is formed by a lake (15 km2) and 400 m of depth, that coincides with the hole of the exploitation of lignite, and a large dump of 11.5 km2 and 200 m of height, generated by the storage of waste or mining waste.
