Description

The island of Menorca has one of the best-preserved coastlines in Spain and this project for the conservation and recovery of the network of historic footpaths called Cami de Cavalls is largely to blame. This project can help us to imagine what the Spanish coastal landscape could be like if natural and cultural landscape conservation criteria had been followed. The need for its preservation arose from the island's civil society, which continues to be involved in its conservation through associations that are dedicated to recovering popular path construction methods and that organise workshops to keep the path alive.
