In this photograph one can see the whole of the Jaravía mining area. This stretch was one of the most difficult (amongst many difficult areas) to construct. One can see the track running from the bottom left corner diagonally up to the centre where it enters the longest tunnel of the five. | See map. | |
Looking east from Los Peines. In the right hand V of the mountains one can see Jaravía Station and in the far distance, Águilas. | See map. | |

The cause of many troubles for The GSSR, this was the mine called 'San José'. The GSSR had to build the track over the mine shaft but then built an arch so that mining could continue. This didn't pacify the mine owner, Francisco Carrasco. | See map. | |
The old mine workings of 'San José', the cause of much consternation. | See map. | |
