La Camocha, Asturias coal mine

La Camocha is a former coal mine in Spain. It is located 7 kilometres (4 mi) south of Gijón in Asturias. 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The former mining railway that once linked the coal mine of La Camocha to Veriña has been replaced by La Camocha Greenway, a trail for hikers and cyclists.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.
