conservation of the Camino de Santiago (Way of Santiago). People

who wish to obtain an exact data on which have been and what

means the Camino de Santiago in the European culture and in its

people. The young people must come motivated to collaborate with

the rehabilitation of the collective memory through the recovery

recovery of the own Camino. Anyone to that, mainly, desires to

learn a little more on historical trans-border communications, on

old ways, the Pyrenees, mountain towns. Anyone with desire to

work, to collaborate in the recovery of exciting an historical

and cultural patrimony.

   

    DESCRIPTION OF WORK.-

    With respect to the work of cleaning and environmental

adjustment of the Camino de Santiago.

The task is focused in the technical document guaranteed by the

Government of Aragón that was made under the Direction of D.

Jose´ Luis Ona González:

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE TASKS

 

The denominated "Section V, subsection 2" is developed from the

Puente de Abajo (that is subsection 1) by the left border of the

river. It is fitted in the base of the slope that closes the

valley and its main technical element is the retaining wall -

with rubblework - that conforms the own layout of the Way of

Santiago.

The vegetation has grown extremely next to the mentioned wall,

and has invaded the own way in some sections. It would be come to

its grubbing and selectived prune, as done in other campaigns:

without eliminating the vegetation in its totality. After the

cleaning, those fallen "mampuestos" given off from the wall would

be replaced.

 

Concretely the technical task will consist of:

 

Cleaning of sweepings, stones, and other materials in all the

section Canfranc Pueblo-Puente de Abajo- Villanúa.

Grubbing and selective prune of the invading vegetation.

Cleaning, discovery and putting in value of possible lateral

walls, paved with stones or other structures that could appear.

Provisional consolidation if it were necessary.

Cleaning and classification of possible archaeological rest

founded.

Elaboration of the corresponding report on the historical

content.

Emission of press news when it corresponds.

 

    With respect to the work of cleaning and adjustment of the

two Búnkeres of the "associated P Line" to the Camino de

Santiago.

   

    The "P Line" is formed by a set of hundred of Bunkers that

the pro-Franco dictatorship constructed with prisoners throughout

the Pyrenees once the allies in the Second World War gained

positions to the Germans. They are strong constructions,

perfectly merged due its finished is made of grass, earth and

stones gathered in the same places where they were constructed.

Many kilometers of the 8,800 totals that we know are made like

this, are in the Valley of Canfranc.

   

At the present time they are in phase of inventory and are in the

open and in bad conditions. They constitute the clasp of a

military architecture that has not been well valued and that

nevertheless gathers enormous didactic possibilities and of

learning from all the points of view.

   

    Concretely the technical task will consist of:   

   

Cleanning the accesses of the North and South Bunkers in Peña

Caída, its footpaths of entrance.

Grubbin and selective prunning the invading vegetation.

Cleaning, discovering and putting in value of paved with stones

or other structures that could appear. Provisional consolidation

with rubblework.

Signaling of both búnqueres.

Elaboration of the corresponding report on the historical

content.

Emission of press news when it corresponds.

 

PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES.-

The Directive Equipment of the Work Camp will make a list of

activities to make, that will be presented/displayed to the

participants in the course of the first day of stay. The

definitive program will be decided between the participants and

the equipment with the idea that this system serves to involve

from the very beginning and therefore to motivate them to

participate in all the definitive program.

 

Our system of operation comes from the idea that the Work Camp is

an activity of Education in the Laisure Time and although the

participants are of legal age, we did not resign to infect to

them of our educative intentionalities and therefore of different

attitudes that we woulk like them to acquire during these 20

days.

 

For that reason and taking advantage of the surroundings where we

are, the proposed activities are within the educative objectives

that we have mentioned, emanating directly from them.

 

The following challenge is to make them attractive so that the

participants animate themselves, take advantage of them and that

all together obtain the maximun accomplishment of our objectives.

 

We are going to enumerate the activities that will provided to

the group.

 

Activities of Environmental Education: walks, environmental

interpretation, readings of landscape, animals, plants,

geomofology, anthropology.

Activities of Treking: two treckings by the zone of Channel of IP

and Roya-Anayet Channel. Evening treckings: Gabardito, Coll de

Ladrones.

Knowledge of the populations of the Valley of Canfranc and Valle

of Aspe: Canfranc, Villanúa, Castiello, Jaca, Urdos and Bedous.

Mountain sports: School of Scaling, direction, cartography, etc.

Laisure activities: celebrations, evenings, dinner services.

Formation activities: debates on the life in Pyrenean and the

influence of the Camino de Santiago, the Historical and Artistic

Patrimony, the influence of the man in Means...

 

We understand this action like an activity with young people of

legal age, without for that reason it has to be losen the global

and educative character. Although the complementary activities

are optative, we will try that all the participants make them.

For that, the first day, once made the presentations and made

some activity of knowledge of the participants, this proposal of

activities is introduced in order to be decided with the

participants, by consensus, and therefore, by means of a personal

contribution of particular interests on formation, sport

activities, laisure activities, etc. By doing this, it is able to

make a program in which everybody has certain protagonism and

therefore everybody is responsible. By this way too all the

participants make all the activities and therefore the group

atmosphere is little by little more more and more favorable. To

make this program, supposes a greater degree of active

participation.

tools (pickaxes, shovels, etc.) and the help of a mechanical mean

to transport the land and rubbish to the town rubbish dumps.

 

This specific action will be complemented in the following years,

city of Calp and its port, at the foot of Ifach.

 

The estimated extension of the place is 5,000 square metres, of

which around 25% have been excavated. All the area is settled on

a formation of "fossil dune" which appears on the surface at

many points, constituting a kind of rock easy to work with as it

is soft, that is why the place has been a stone quarry for

centuries.

of the Comunidad Valenciana, in front of the sea and surrounded

by mountain ranges, such as Bèrnia, and it is very near the Peñón

de Ifach Natural Reserve.

  Description of Workcamp:

 

REGION.- Region of País Vasco. Province of Alava.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- For the moment the work to be carried out

will be aimed at meeting the following main objectives:

From a scientific view point, the most relevant point will be get

to know, in as much detail as possible, all about a middle to

upper class large urban dwelling, from the height of the Roman

Empire until towards its end.

From a didactical point of view, and due to its major

architectural value and possibilities, it will be a case of

making a whole home visible and understandable.

This will be done using the following methodology:

An archaeological excavation with thorough archaeological

documentation (current state, extensions, explorations).

Identification of the dwelling's lay-out

Consolidation and "museumisation" work.

 

PARTICIPANTS PROFILE.- When enroling, participants should show a

certificate proving they have or are studying Humanities, History

or Archaeology.

 

A BRIEF ASSESMENT OF THE IRUÑA/VELEIA SITE.- On the Arkiz spur,

surrounded by the Zadorra river and between the modern-day towns

of Villodas and Trespuentes(Iruña de Oca, Alava), a great

fortified settlement or oppidum, belonging to 

the group of Caristios, was to be found in the first millennium

b.c. It was one of the largest settlements of our Iron Age and

may have covered over 30 hectares. Its privileged location and

its human potential meant that at the beginning of our times it

was chosen by the Romans to build a city called Veleia. In fact,

this is the only city as such in existence in the Roman era in

what is now the Basque Country.

The city of Veleia was helped by the fact that it was near the

Astorga-Bordeaux road, the main land route to cross the Basque

Country in Roman times. Products from all the corners of the

roman Empire (Bizkaia, the Rioja, Gaul, Italy, Germania and

Africa, etc.) came to the city which became a centre for delivery

and redistribution of goods. Veleia´s importance increased during

the initial centuries a.d. and covered an area of around 80

hectares with hundreds of domus or urban dwellings and also

public buildings such as a theatre, thermal baths, a forum,

temples, etc.

Towards the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th century a.d.,

the city had a large wall, measuring over 1,5 km. built around it

which even enclosed a hamlet of over 11 hectares. This is the

late roman wall of Veleia, the largest architectural construction

of the roman era in the Basque Country and one of the most

important in the north of Spain. The city was abandoned as such

towards the end of the 5th century a.d.

Iruña/Veleia is like a huge historical archive covering over 1500

years of our early history. It is a well-conserved archaeological

archive of which a lot still remains to be discovered. The site´s

scientific potential is tremendous and its potential as tourist

site is quite clear as soon as the value of its remains are

realised and it is "museumised".

 

PROPOSAL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL WORKCAMP.- The idea behind setting

up an international work camp in Iruña/Veleia is to:

Offer youngsters the possibility of collaborating on a major

archaeological research programme which will become one of the

Basque Country's most emblematic sites.

Obtain direct experience of some of the main archaeological field

procedures and techniques.

Get to know a little bit more about the Basque Country's past and

cultural heritage. To do this we have prepared a programme of

activities (every day from Monday-Friday): based on

archaeological excavation and structure consolidation tasks. All

with the supervision of professional archaeologists.

The activities programme held every afternoon will included

teaching and training activities (an approach to archaeological

techniques and materials and their basic processing: talks and

seminars on Iruña/Veleia, its historical and cultural context).

These will be led and co-ordinated by professional archaeologists

and other specialists members of the site's research team.

 

ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In a local school.

 

LOCATION.- Iruña is 12 km. from Vitoria-Gasteiz.

 

TRAVELLING INSTRUCTIONS.- By train on the Madrid-Irun line (RENFE

Tel 902 240202 web: www.renfe.es )

Buses from Vitoria-Gasteiz and from Miranda de Ebro (GRUPO

  Description of Workcamp:

 

REGION.- Region of País Vasco. Province of Alava.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- For the moment the work to be carried out

will be aimed at meeting the following main objectives:

From a scientific view point, the most relevant point will be get

to know, in as much detail as possible, all about a middle to

upper class large urban dwelling, from the height of the Roman

Empire until towards its end.

From a didactical point of view, and due to its major

architectural value and possibilities, it will be a case of

making a whole home visible and understandable.

This will be done using the following methodology:

An archaeological excavation with thorough archaeological

documentation (current state, extensions, explorations).

Identification of the dwelling's lay-out

Consolidation and "museumisation" work.

 

PARTICIPANTS PROFILE.- When enroling, participants should show a

certificate proving they have or are studying Humanities, History

or Archaeology.

 

A BRIEF ASSESMENT OF THE IRUÑA/VELEIA SITE.- On the Arkiz spur,

surrounded by the Zadorra river and between the modern-day towns

of Villodas and Trespuentes(Iruña de Oca, Alava), a great

fortified settlement or oppidum, belonging to 

the group of Caristios, was to be found in the first millennium

b.c. It was one of the largest settlements of our Iron Age and

may have covered over 30 hectares. Its privileged location and

its human potential meant that at the beginning of our times it

was chosen by the Romans to build a city called Veleia. In fact,

this is the only city as such in existence in the Roman era in

what is now the Basque Country.

The city of Veleia was helped by the fact that it was near the

Astorga-Bordeaux road, the main land route to cross the Basque

Country in Roman times. Products from all the corners of the

roman Empire (Bizkaia, the Rioja, Gaul, Italy, Germania and

Africa, etc.) came to the city which became a centre for delivery

and redistribution of goods. Veleia´s importance increased during

the initial centuries a.d. and covered an area of around 80

hectares with hundreds of domus or urban dwellings and also

public buildings such as a theatre, thermal baths, a forum,

temples, etc.

Towards the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th century a.d.,

the city had a large wall, measuring over 1,5 km. built around it

which even enclosed a hamlet of over 11 hectares. This is the

late roman wall of Veleia, the largest architectural construction

of the roman era in the Basque Country and one of the most

important in the north of Spain. The city was abandoned as such

towards the end of the 5th century a.d.

Iruña/Veleia is like a huge historical archive covering over 1500

years of our early history. It is a well-conserved archaeological

archive of which a lot still remains to be discovered. The site´s

scientific potential is tremendous and its potential as tourist

site is quite clear as soon as the value of its remains are

realised and it is "museumised".

 

PROPOSAL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL WORKCAMP.- The idea behind setting

up an international work camp in Iruña/Veleia is to:

Offer youngsters the possibility of collaborating on a major

archaeological research programme which will become one of the

Basque Country's most emblematic sites.

Obtain direct experience of some of the main archaeological field

procedures and techniques.

Get to know a little bit more about the Basque Country's past and

cultural heritage. To do this we have prepared a programme of

activities (every day from Monday-Friday): based on

archaeological excavation and structure consolidation tasks. All

with the supervision of professional archaeologists.

The activities programme held every afternoon will included

teaching and training activities (an approach to archaeological

techniques and materials and their basic processing: talks and

seminars on Iruña/Veleia, its historical and cultural context).

These will be led and co-ordinated by professional archaeologists

and other specialists members of the site's research team.

 

ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In a local school.

 

LOCATION.- Iruña is 12 km. from Vitoria-Gasteiz.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- The Santa Apolonia Chapel is situated in

the district of Santa Apolonia de Iurreta, in the neighbourhood

of Orozketa. It forms part of the municipality's list of

religious architecture, and is one of the ten chapels in this

list.

It is popularly known as Santa Apolonia, even though its original

name is San Julián de Arandia, and the first mention of this

chapel dates back to the year 1075 according to the "Arandiako

monastegia" document. Initially no traces were found of the 11th

century to which it belongs, but in 1986 while its interior was

being restored, remains of a necropolis were discovered inside

the chapel, mostly bone remains.

Over the years it has undergone different restorations. In 1747

one of the chapel walls was rebuilt, and a few years later, in

1760, the floor was restored.

However, the vicissitudes of history have shown that it was not

until the end of the 19th century in 1893, after 11 accidents,

that the real renovation took place, when the chapel was rebuilt

and extended.

It celebrates its feast day on the 9th of February, on Santa

Apolonia's day.

The inside of the exterior walls has recently been restored, so

the restoration of their exterior is being considered, to enable

this chapel to continue forming part of the municipality's

history and artistic patrimony.

The restoration work involves:

Chipping the walls' exterior

Rejoining the exterior walls with cement mortar

 

OTHER ACTIVITIES.- The activity team will prepare a series of

activities so that participants on the project get to know

something more about the culture and the habits of the Basque

Country. The team will send the programme directly to the

participants who, if they wish, can make suggestions to change or

widen it.

These activities will be carried out every afternoon and at the

weekend. All group members will participate.

  Description of Workcamp:

 

REGION.- Region of Pais Vasco. Province of Vizcaya.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- The road comes from Olabarri and heads

close to the place where the Isasi estate would be, crossing a

stream over a small bridge. In this area the road comes to a

junction, which leads to the church of Andra Mari de Elexalde

(Romanesque, C.13) and at this point its paving is different to

the previous section. The type of road from Olabarri does in fact

allude to the 16th and 17th centuries, with a central strip of

narrow slabs placed lengthways along the road and small stone

paving perpendicular to the centre of the road which gives it a

somewhat unusual appearance, technically known as "fishbone" and

which is very rarely found in our historical land.

For its part, the road leading to Andra Mari has a cavity made up

of two lateral strips of normal-sized stones and filled with tiny

little stones. This type of road, known as elizbide in popular

speech, linked rural neighbourhoods and estates with the

surrounding churches and chapels.

While it is true that documents from the 15th century mention a

road that leads from Durango to Bilbao, passing by the Berna

house-tower, we have no documentary evidence regarding the

highway to Bilbao from Durango and Arratia in the municipal area

of Galdakao. Nevertheless, we do have cartographic data taking us

back to the 17th century, the time when one may talk of roads in

the strict sense of the word, i.e. organisation and planning of

the mainland road networks, and the time when the new Bilbao to

Durango road was opened.

In the 18th century, building conditions were already

pre-established and road regulations were similar all over the

Peninsula. The cavity measurements were widened and the interior

was prepared using several layers that were silted using a cover

of medium-sized irregular stones which were placed in an

irregular way over the central space formed by the lateral

strips.

 

ACTION PROPOSALS

Locating the route

Monitor the road to find out, as reliably as possible, its route

and the points where remains of its structure may be seen.

Cleaning and repair

Clean the road in order to gain access to all the information it

can offer us, such as size and construction systems, of both the

road surface and the cavity. It would also be advisable to

restore and repair it, but not rebuild it as our intention is to

maintain the patrimonial element and not replace it with a new

construction.

Description of the located elements and topographic survey

a)    Graphically document the located elements and record the

state they were found in as well as the action that will be taken

on them.

b)    Site the located elements (in this case; road, bridge and

possible limekiln). It would be advisable here to draw up a

topographic survey of the road in order to determine the contours

it goes through.

Drafting the report

    Drafting the detailed report of the steps taken and the

obtained results     (detailed description of the patrimonial

elements and their location,     cartography, related documents

and as far as possible, oral testimonies).

Recovery and use

This point must be considered and developed by the Galdakao Town

Council itself in the light of the obtained results and the

issued report, and aimed at both the defence and protection of

the patrimonial elements on which work has been carried out, as

well as opening an alternative leisure-cultural area within the

municipal limits.

 

OTHER ACTIVITIES.- The activity team will prepare a series of

activities so that participants on the project get to know

something more about the culture and the habits of the Basque

CAT01- TRAMUNTANA                                         16/7-29/7

GIRONA                                     ENVI                    25 VOLS

 

This project will take place at the Natural Park of Cap de Creus (Creus Cape). One of the most interesting aspects of the cape is its geological formation, which is easily visible as the majority of the cape consists of bare rock. Phenomen such as metamorphism, folding and fracturing can be seen, giving us an insight into the evolution of the landforms of the early palaezoic period in this region of Catalunya. The rivers and streams that drain the zone are short and only carry water after occasional heavy rains. At some points, though, rock pools remain. The historical and cultural heritage of the Creus Cape adds to its environmental value. There are a large number of prehistoric dolmens, that of la Creu d'en Corbatella, at Roses, being particularly well-known. Submerged in the waters of the zone is a valuable archeological legacy of shipwrecks from the period of the Roman Empire.

WORK: It consists in the cooperation with the Natural Park of Cap de Creus monitoring the state of coastal fauna, as well as in the recovery of old rural paths in the area. At the same time, we will develop tasks like:

1.        To clean and pick up rubbish from several beaches in the area and trekking paths.

2.       To draw the trekking paths on a map for publishing.

3.       To renove several fountains, which time ago were used as pleasant zones.

4.       The follow-up of the marine fauna.

5.       To work together with the village population

 

FREE TIME ACTIVITIES: walking and bivouac around the Natural Park of the Cape Creus, soirees, and group activities and games to promote cooperation and solidarity.

ACCOMODATION: In tents-on the camp site in the olive grove of Selva de Mar.

LOCATION: Selva de Mar (Alt Empordà). Girona. Costa Brava. The villages Selva de Mar is a special jewel in Costa Brava, only about 2 km from Port de la Selva. Off of the peak season, particularly in the week, it may happen, that one is in fact still the only tourist here. Unlike the boom of the tourism Selva de Mar conserved more or less its identity. During the main season and at the weekends live here, however, a grand number of holiday visitors. But a lot of them are of village origin and renovated the houses of the village respectfully.

If you feel a romantic vein in yourself, you should not neglect to explore the corners of Selva de Mar.
