WHAT WE’LL SEE

Tranco del Lobo, the name of its location and of the power station, started to be built in 1921. In 1925 was put into operation and it is the second oldest power station in Spain. Around it, we find the old small village which was created for the workers, unused today, and the hermitage which was sometimes used as a school.
