Lime mixed with sand made a very hard paste that was used as cement between stones or bricks, and also as a disinfectant.
In this place there are up to 3 very close lime mines, which take advantage of a nearby vein. These were in operation from at least 1940 to 1965.
They were known as the stairs of Las Vegas, or the path of the Nava, also by the name of their owners as the Calera de Antonio Muñoz and for the grouper Cieza.
