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
of patrimony associated to the Camino de
Santiago and of the
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the historical
content.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.

GOALS OF THE WORKCAMP.- The main goals of
the work camp Banys de
la Reina are the adequacy of the
environment of the
archaeological site which constitutes a key
point to know the
settlement and the economic activities
on the coast of Alicante.
It is located in an area of the littoral situated in the inner
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.
ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In the State School
Azorín – Partida
Gargasindi, s/n – CALPE (ALICANTE), adapted
as a youth hostel
during the summer. It is provided with
services, showers,
kitchen, equipped dining-room.
LOCATION.- The village of Calp is situated
in a privileged place
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.
In the region of La Marina, and near Calp,
we also find the
villages of Altea, Xàbia, Moraira-Teulada,
Guadalest, Alfàs del
Pi, among others. All of them are eminently
tourist.
LANGUAGES SPOKEN.- English and spanish.
THINGS TO BRING.- Sleeping bag, work
clothes and gloves,
appropiate shoes for the mountain, hat or

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.

Description of Workcamp:
REGION.- Region of Pais Vasco. Province of
Vizcaya.
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

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.

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.
