💼 What the programme involves
Restoration of the path: As a continuation of the project carried out in the previous edition, participants will work on consolidation of the path surface, correction of run-off water as well as cleaning and improvement of water passages. The aim is conditioning the first 60 m of the path, to allow the way. To do this, we propose to build a discontinuous passage with stones, to avoid the flooded area.
Old Fountain: Restoration of the upper front of the fountain-trough with stone and waterproofing of the fountain basin to help to preserve its traditional use and integrate into the landscape. Removal, clearing and cleaning of weeds and unwanted vegetation. Channel runoff water which closes the passage through this area corresponding to the road that connects Lozoyuela to Las Navas de Buitrago.
Dissemination and preservation: A report with pictures taken before and after the work will be prepared for an exhibition at the municipality. This will help to promote the work and advertise the path and the environmental value of this área.
