Roman Gold Mines of Las Médulas - UNESCO World Heritage Site

[@DaveBriggs]

Such an incredible landscape! And to think of the scale of the industry behind moving all that gold out.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Yeah, the whole 60,000 slaves thing is a mind-blowing number!

[@corinnevail2431]

I have never heard of this place, but now it's on my list. I've got to go!

The first time I'm hearing about the place. But the red rocky mountains is soooo beautiful!. Thanks for sharing a bit of interesting facts too.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@glebhill6397]

This is some very impressive information, haven't heard before, thank you!

[@thomaswatson1995]

This place looks unreal! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before now!!!

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Yeah it was really cool, one of the first genuinely impressive surprises on the Journey!

[@flydriveexplore]

Looks really interesting, we were not really aware of the site before this.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Yeah I'd definitely never heard of it either!

[@Fittwotravel]

thanks for sharing this, I wish I would have know about it when I was spending time in Lugo Spain, would have definately planned a trip to check this out! thanks for the information, will go here next time we are in Spain...

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Glad you enjoyed! I highly recommend it, there's some great walks down in the valley to enjoy :)

[@chrisoulamanika3221]

What an interesting site to explore. It is the first time I hear about it.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Yeah it was great! One of my favourite UNESCO World Heritage sites so far

[@jaffyger]

Beautiful vid well done

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Thank you so much! Cheers for watching 👍

[@nuggetella]

Pretty amazing, want to know more.

[@JHincks95]

How did you get there? I’m staying in Ponferrada and I can’t find any information on public transport to the site.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

We actually had a rental car and were able to drive there. Might be worth looking into a rental for the day as it will make access much easier!

[@sugarnads]

Thanks mate. That was interesting.

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

No worries, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed 👍

Better without music

[@alexandrenunesdeoliveira9417]

the video is well-intended and the content is interesting, however, I must say that the music is too loud regarding the narration voice.

[@authenticfoodquest]

Fascinating. The slaves were quite ingenious in their search for gold. Amazing scenery. Thanks for sharing!!

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@altonlynch5464]

I'm sure there is still gold there. who owns it now?

[@illerac84]

That's a lot of forced, manual labor.
