Asturias hides much more than landscapes. We explore the secrets of Asturias that the earth holds beneath its surface.

Asturias is a land of geological and human contrasts. From the Neanderthal paintings at El Sidrón to the forgotten mines that riddled the Cantabrian coast, this journey analyzes how the industrial and natural past has left an indelible mark on the land. We examine the history of Spain through places altered by catastrophes or by the hand of man himself.

We explore disused infrastructure and natural environments that conceal unsettling stories. We delve into those abandoned places that today serve as silent witnesses to forgotten episodes, from shipwrecks at Castillo de Salas to the complex interventions in old mercury mines. It is an exercise in memory regarding industrial heritage and the fragility of our territory.
