La Camocha, Asturias Coal Mine
La Camocha is a former coal mine which is seven kilometers south of Gijon, Asturias, Spain. It was operated by Minas la Camocha SA, which is affiliated with González y Díez SA.
The former mining railway that once linked the coal mine of La Camocha to Veriña has been replaced by La Camocha Greenway, a trail for hikers and cyclists.
The trade union movement Comisiones Obreras (CC.OO.) was born in the La Camocha mine.
