Descripció
Excursió al Parc Natural de la Serra de Montsant que aprofundeix en l’art de la pedra en sec. Visitarem una zona netejada recentment on han aflorat una gran diversitat d’estructures de pedra en sec. Marges, barraques, camins empedrats, ponts, aljubs per emmagatzemar aigua…. Tota aquesta riquesa en arquitectura rural la podrem contemplar en aquesta bonica excursió. Els camins rals entre els pobles de Montsant, encara alguns avui en dia empedrats, deixen entreveure com devia ésser el traginar de les gents amunt i avall movent l’economia local.
Aquesta excursió es proposa fer de manera relaxada al llarg de tot un dia, finalitzant aviat a la tarda. A la carta també es pot compactar i fer de mig dia.
