🏢 About the local organisation
Mancomunidad de Sakana (group of municipalities of Sakana, Navarra).In this area there is an ancient roman road which was used for trade and transport throughout many years (B.C to XVIII century). One goal of this project is to restore the road and try to discover more of it. It is located in between mountains and trees, so the working area will be mainly in the shade.Still there is much to be discover and it seems that this place was actually part of the old path of Camino de Santiago from Bourdeux to Leon and Santiago, in the area of Aditu. There is another project taking place: in a coastal town, not far from this valley.
💼 What the programme involves
The work will consists basically to restore an old path, but also to restore traditions. Sociallife would be also very important, so be prepared to meet some youngsters of the area and try to encourage them to participate in the work you are doing. The project is meant to learn the Basque/Navarrean culture and history as well.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be in an old house, actually the priests house. Volunteers will do shopping and cook for themselves
