Minas de hierro abandonadas - Corcoya, Sevilla, España - Mines on Waymarking.com

"Las minas de hierro de la Cabrera y los accidentes allí ocurridos constituyen un episodio, no pequeño , del pasado de Corcoya y de su entorno. Los más viejos nos han contado que la explotación fue abandonada después de que un hundimiento atrapara a un número elevado de trabajadores. También nos hablaron del cable aéreo, de operarios venidos de fuera, de empresas extranjeras y de minerales transportados a Málaga. La cortadura, los pozos y los restos de edificios son, a su vez, testigos fieles de una intensa actividad minera. Todo es parte de la historia oral, de la memoria colectiva de los habitantes de la zona, sin que apenas existan documentos o noticias referidas a tales acontecimientos.

Las minas de hierro de Sierra Cabrera han estado, siguen estando, en la historia oral de Corcoya y de su entorno. Un grave accidente, con muertos nunca rescatados, ha constituido el núcleo principal de la memoria colectiva, que ha ido perdiendo detalle en las fechas, en el número y origen de los allí enterrados."

"The iron mines of La Cabrera and the accidents that occurred there constitute an episode, not a small one, in the past of Corcoya and its surroundings. The oldest people have told us that the exploitation was abandoned after a collapse trapped a large number They also told us about the aerial cable, about workers coming from abroad, about foreign companies and about minerals transported to Malaga. The cut, the wells and the remains of buildings are, in turn, faithful witnesses of intense mining activity. Everything is part of oral history, of the collective memory of the inhabitants of the area, with hardly any documents or news referring to such events.

The iron mines of Sierra Cabrera have been, and continue to be, in the oral history of Corcoya and its surroundings.
