Descrição
We are a couple (Cèlia and David), restoring an ancient building (ca. 200 y.o.) in an isolated village, Santisteve del Mall (Isàvena, Aragonese Pyrenees).
Attached to the building there is a piece of land - originally surrounded by a dry-stone wall (up to 1,50 m. high) that is now damaged due to the pass of time as well as wild animals and cattle. We want to restore it.
Santisteve del Mall is located at the Isávena country, in the South face of the Central Pyrenees, at some 1.050 m.a.s.l.. Close to Santisteve are the villages of Poblla de Roda and Roda de Isàvena (est. ca. 10th century). The entire Isàvena valley is a quiet community to enjoy the silence of its pristine natural environment.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Before starting the work, an initial-basic induction on dry-stone walls is provided. We have books on the matter available if people like to go deeper.
Later on, travellers will help to restore a piece of an ancient custom in the mountains which is to build dry-stone walls for different purposes. In this case is to enclose a small land to set boundaries and prevent wild animals or distracted cattle to ruin the crops.
Additional tasks like caring the greengarden, preparing food,apply lineseed oil, hiking, riding MTB, or simply stay chat or chill the rest of the summer evenings and overwhelming nights. We will be delighted to share this moments with the visitors.
The greengarden follows permaculture, no-dig, no-till approaches. We are on the learning curve on that, so any advice will be very welcome.
Ajuda
In the Ribagorçan Aragonese (South face of the Central Pyrenees) culture, a "clluga" is a piece of land enclosed by a dry-stone wall. The pass of time and also the pass of wild animals and cattle, damaged most of the stone wall in our "clluga" (known in the country as "La Clluga de Güerri").
The work is mainly focused on restoring the stone wall (up to 1,50 m high) in the perimeter of La Clluga. We will use stones already stored a few meters from its permanent place. The size and weight of the stones is small: they can be handled by one person and very sporadically the help of another person is needed. All the task is done at ground level.
Related to this tasks, basic knowledge and experience with wood working is a plus, but not necessary, as we have to use custom made wood templates, measuring tools, handtools,... with all the safety equipment needed.
Additionally, greengardening / permaculture tasks, DIY and maintenance works of the buildings could be also shared.

We also learned a lot about the history of the place, the region and the culture.
We are excited to see how… read more
Thanks to their eager, hands-on motivation and amazing ability they soon coped autonomously with the entire process to erect the wall: screening sand, mixing it with lime and water to make a nice lime mortar, select and put in place the stones. The result was a… read more
