💼 What the programme involves
Framed in the beautiful Valley of Baztan, between pastures and oak groves, legends of witches and bucolic villages of white houses and red roofs, there is a past of concrete bunkers. Built since the late 1930s and throughout the 40s and 50s, they draw the attempt of the Francoist dictatorship to close and fortify the French-Spanish border by building thousands of bunkers and military structures (more than 10,000) throughout the Pyrenees.Despite being an immense work, it begins to be known only in recent years, so the recovery and cleaning of some of these structures allows visitors and inhabitants of the area to approach this recent but in many cases hidden past.These work camps seek the cleaning, recovery and documentation of some of these fortresses that control both the heights that look towards France and refuge areas to the south in the surroundings of the BaztEUn valley. The work will be complemented with explanations on the construction of all these fortifications, documentation of the time, basic notions of the archaeological techniques and different visits. The organization will provide a transfer from Youth Hostel Baztan Valley to the workplace.
