"I was shocked," said Drago.
The Spaniard explained "the great relationship that has always remained with the Region of Murcia" and the unfinished business he had "to meet the Union, a town that has always intrigued me, starting with their own name, so evocative."
Later, accompanied by Mayor Drago has visited the mine Groups Vicenta.

Drago has predicted "a sure hit when this wonder is open to the public"
Vicenta groups is one of the mines visited Europe's largest, with more than 4,000 square meters to 80 meters deep.
Huge galleries, special vaults, huge pillars and even an underground lake of reddish water form a unique and different, a place open to the senses.
And thanks to a spectacular musealization (including special effects, audio-visual and dramatized dummies), the visitor can take a trip back in time and travel to another time when you see how they lived and worked for former miners.
