Itinerari de la pedra seca

Throughout this itinerary, you will traverse wooded and urban areas, where you can observe buildings from different eras up to the present day. However, we ask you to pay attention to the more modest constructions. Constructions that, despite their simplicity, have withstood the test of time and are now part of our Cultural and Natural Heritage: dry stone constructions. Since time immemorial, the inhabitants of Andorra have used what the mountain abundantly provided, stone, to raise walls and tame the landscape. The stone fields of Andorra have supplied an excellent raw material to the population of these valleys, who have utilized the stone they extracted to create orris, bordes, feixes, paths, and charcoal kilns. Constructions linked to agricultural and livestock activities, and later also to metallurgy, which intervene in the landscape with maximum respect for nature, using no other element than the stone itself. Dry stone is a symbol of our country. A remnant of a past where man and nature lived in harmony. A legacy for a future true to our roots.
