Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo is the main reference of the industrial past of the Guadiato Valley. Its origin and development are linked to coal mining and the railroad, activities that transformed the landscape and social life of the municipality from the 19th century onwards.

The Cerco Industrial and the Barrio de los Franceses are two of its most representative spaces, witnesses of an intense mining and industrial activity that turned the town into one of the most important economic centers of the area. Today, these groups form a valuable heritage of industrial archaeology, unique in the territory.

In addition to its historical legacy, Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo currently acts as a nucleus of services and a point of reference within the valley, combining memory, culture and local life.

To visit Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo is to approach the recent history that defines the identity of the Guadiato Valley, a place where industry left an indelible mark.
