We hardly know anything about ourselves. Clues, traces, ruins, stones, weathered objects. What were we then? "Sedentary people on the move." "Nomads who settled down" at times threatened, and far more often free to walk without fear beyond the river or the known mountain horizon. We once moved gigantic stones, played with them to create … Continue reading Totanés Cromlech
The Gran Bachimala, or simply Bachimala, is a beautiful and somewhat remote mountain in the central Pyrenees. Despite its notable altitude, around 3200 meters, and being a magnificent viewpoint of the surrounding grand mountain ranges, it remains a less-visited three-thousander. It doesn't have the fame or the influx of visitors like its neighbors, Aneto or … Continue reading Ascent to the Gran Bachimala

With it, a river is not just a canal with a meadow, an irrigation ditch with a garden, a trickle with weeds, water and nothing. It has many names. They call it riverside … Continue reading Riparian
Crossing the ravines, searching for a path among the already bloomed brooms, stepping on quartz stones and the ancient hoof marks of wild boars. The enormous flood of December is clearly visible on the shore. He remembers the precise steps based on the shape of a rocky outcrop or a distant tree protruding from the … Continue reading Gift
Heptageniidae is a family of aquatic insects belonging to the order Ephemeroptera, very abundant in the middle and upper reaches of rivers and whose presence is often a clear indicator of water quality.

We are witnessing the end of rural civilization as a consequence of a decline that began with the mechanization of agricultural and livestock work and has been accentuated by the industrialization of these two activities. The methodology for obtaining food has changed, along with the customs and culture, and the inevitable loss of the episteme … Continue reading Nature deficit

It houses the Fuente de La Vidala, a small water source that after continuous rainfall spits out all the liquid that it cannot absorb, forming a small pool through runoff. It is a fairly impermeable rocky terrain, … Continue reading Geomorphology and alteration of granites
