The Dry Stone Route in Llançà
Organized by: Llançà
Come and discover the new Llançà Dry Stone Route, a themed hiking excursion where you will discover different Dry Stone constructions along the route.
In Llançà we can find different elements built in dry stone, a traditional architecture of the 17th and 19th centuries with great historical value, present throughout the years in agricultural and livestock landscapes where olive trees, vineyards, almond trees and cereals predominate. These dry stone elements are fully adapted to the landscape and climate of the area.
Dry stone is a type of construction using a simple technique that consists of overlapping stones horizontally. These stones were usually extracted (de-stoned) from what would be future crop fields, since they were difficult to work on and prevent the seeds from growing properly, and they were used to build various elements. The most notable are margins, walls and vineyard or olive grove huts that can be square or circular in plan. We can also find other elements such as bridges, cobbled paths, dovecotes and water channels, among others.
We are waiting for you!
