Museo Geominero

It's not the type of museum most people might visit, but I'm a bit of a mineral-hound and I love it. It's free and it's at c/ Ríos Rosas, 23, and it's open from 9 to 14.00. They've usually got a market on the first Sunday of the month (but check first). These photos are actually both of the museum and the mining University next door where the market is. Google Maps.
