La Unión is a small town about 10 miles from us. It is difficult to find any significant history about the town but there is much evidence that people have dwelled in and around the area from caveman times. According to my web searches it seems that the main historic events happened in the more significant local areas such as Cartegena and even Cabo de Palos, however what is evident is that it has been a major mining area for the minerals lead, alum and silver. The surrounding areais scarred from excavations and many mine heads and working are visible.
