CONTENTS:
Before speaking of the expositions halls, it is necessary to point out that the first space is the own Molinos district, where a routs signalling system let the visitor enjoy the space. In this way, it is necessary to point out that the district is crossed by a variant of the GR.8, track of great rout that goes from Beceite to Villel. There also are other small routs as that of "El Picuezo" or "El Pozo del Salto" one.
Another fundamental aspect is the Caves of Glass (Grutas de Cristal), unique in Europe because of the wealth of its Karstic formations, among which can highlight, "la leche de luna" (calcium carbonate of foamy consistency and white color); the stalactites, some of them of eccentric disposition; stalagmites, columns formed by the stalactite and stalagmite union); arborescent formations, chimneys etc. Many of these formations, receive more popular denominations that make the visit more complete and amusing.
The museum spaces are located in three rooms, two of them in the Old Laundries and the third in the own town council.
The first hall of the old laundries, develops the present Ecosystems in Molinos, through eight exponent furniture. The grove, the cultivations, the human constructions, the cattle raising, the holm oak grove, the pine grove, the rock and the moorland are represented.
the second hall of the building is centered in the Palaeontology, developing two thematic blocks: The first one of general methodological character and the second one dedicated to the discoveries of "La Cueva de las Graderas", where it highlights "La Mandíbula del Hombre de Molinos"
The third hall, located in the town council, exposes works of the artist Eleuterio Blasco Ferrer (sculpture, painting and drawing).
It also has the support of a multimedia kit, where all the aspects of the Molinos Cultural Park are synthesized.
