💼 What the programme involves
Work is being performed at Lemoa regarding the recovery of historical data linked to the Spanish Civil War and this project is one of the tasks proposed. It consists in recovering a trench system located at the summit of Mount Lemoatx where an important battle was fought that enabled Gereral Franco to take the city of Bilbao.
We shall continue with the line of work of previous years in addition to maintenance work on the trenches that have already been recovered. We shall begin to explore a new area where we expect to find larger trenches.
The work is overseen by the Aranzadi Science Association.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in schools. These provide appropriate facilities: showers, municipal sports facilities, 4 halls, a large lounge, kitchen, refectory and municipal swimming pools.
📍 About the location

This will lead to a better understanding of the environment in which the work will be performed and enable participants to become familiar with Basque Country culture and customs (sports, games, excursions, cultural outings to the área´s main cities and coastal regions, etc).
All these activities will include all the people in the group and will be carried out in the evenings and on weekends.
