O PICO SACRO

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

An approach to the cultural, natural and social heritage existing around the Pico Sacro will be developed. This will materialize in a teaching unit that will be studied at the school CPI Antonio Orza Couto on the following academic year.

💼 What the programme involves

They will set up an action plan to promote the Camino de Santiago (a pilgrim¿s road to Santiago de Compostela) passing through Boqueixón. There will be a visit to Vedra pilgrim hostel to get to know its facilities and the information given to pilgrims. They will walk from the hostel up to Lestedo in order to spot any improvements, both environmental and informative, regarding that section of the way. Afterwards the volunteers will trek the way from Lestedo to Pico Sacro. They will be challenged to stimulate the social fabric in Boqueixón. Volunteers should design development activities to invigorate youth in this area throughout various actions on leisure time. Following a training workshop volunteers will shoot short advertisement spots (in the three languages of the work camp) to promote interesting sites in the municipality such as Pico Sacro, Ponte Ledesma bridge and the waterfall in Codeso.
