who wish to obtain an exact data on which have been and what
means the Camino de Santiago in the European culture and in its
people. The young people must come motivated to collaborate with
the rehabilitation of the collective memory through the recovery

recovery of the own Camino. Anyone to that, mainly, desires to
learn a little more on historical trans-border communications, on
old ways, the Pyrenees, mountain towns. Anyone with desire to
work, to collaborate in the recovery of exciting an historical
and cultural patrimony.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.-
With respect to the work of cleaning and environmental
adjustment of the Camino de Santiago.
The task is focused in the technical document guaranteed by the
Government of Aragón that was made under the Direction of D.
Jose´ Luis Ona González:
DESCRIPTION OF THE TASKS
The denominated "Section V, subsection 2" is developed from the
Puente de Abajo (that is subsection 1) by the left border of the
river. It is fitted in the base of the slope that closes the
valley and its main technical element is the retaining wall -
with rubblework - that conforms the own layout of the Way of
Santiago.
The vegetation has grown extremely next to the mentioned wall,
and has invaded the own way in some sections. It would be come to
its grubbing and selectived prune, as done in other campaigns:
without eliminating the vegetation in its totality. After the
cleaning, those fallen "mampuestos" given off from the wall would
be replaced.
Concretely the technical task will consist of:
Cleaning of sweepings, stones, and other materials in all the
section Canfranc Pueblo-Puente de Abajo- Villanúa.
Grubbing and selective prune of the invading vegetation.
Cleaning, discovery and putting in value of possible lateral
walls, paved with stones or other structures that could appear.
Provisional consolidation if it were necessary.
Cleaning and classification of possible archaeological rest
founded.
Elaboration of the corresponding report on the historical
content.
Emission of press news when it corresponds.
With respect to the work of cleaning and adjustment of the
two Búnkeres of the "associated P Line" to the Camino de
Santiago.
The "P Line" is formed by a set of hundred of Bunkers that
the pro-Franco dictatorship constructed with prisoners throughout
the Pyrenees once the allies in the Second World War gained
positions to the Germans. They are strong constructions,
perfectly merged due its finished is made of grass, earth and
stones gathered in the same places where they were constructed.
Many kilometers of the 8,800 totals that we know are made like
this, are in the Valley of Canfranc.
At the present time they are in phase of inventory and are in the
open and in bad conditions. They constitute the clasp of a
military architecture that has not been well valued and that
nevertheless gathers enormous didactic possibilities and of
learning from all the points of view.
Concretely the technical task will consist of:
Cleanning the accesses of the North and South Bunkers in Peña
Caída, its footpaths of entrance.
Grubbin and selective prunning the invading vegetation.
Cleaning, discovering and putting in value of paved with stones
or other structures that could appear. Provisional consolidation
with rubblework.
Signaling of both búnqueres.
Elaboration of the corresponding report on the historical
content.
Emission of press news when it corresponds.
PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES.-
The Directive Equipment of the Work Camp will make a list of
activities to make, that will be presented/displayed to the
participants in the course of the first day of stay. The
definitive program will be decided between the participants and
the equipment with the idea that this system serves to involve
from the very beginning and therefore to motivate them to
participate in all the definitive program.
Our system of operation comes from the idea that the Work Camp is
an activity of Education in the Laisure Time and although the
participants are of legal age, we did not resign to infect to
them of our educative intentionalities and therefore of different
attitudes that we woulk like them to acquire during these 20
days.
For that reason and taking advantage of the surroundings where we
are, the proposed activities are within the educative objectives
that we have mentioned, emanating directly from them.
The following challenge is to make them attractive so that the
participants animate themselves, take advantage of them and that
all together obtain the maximun accomplishment of our objectives.
We are going to enumerate the activities that will provided to
the group.
Activities of Environmental Education: walks, environmental
interpretation, readings of landscape, animals, plants,
geomofology, anthropology.
Activities of Treking: two treckings by the zone of Channel of IP
and Roya-Anayet Channel. Evening treckings: Gabardito, Coll de
Ladrones.
Knowledge of the populations of the Valley of Canfranc and Valle
of Aspe: Canfranc, Villanúa, Castiello, Jaca, Urdos and Bedous.
Mountain sports: School of Scaling, direction, cartography, etc.
Laisure activities: celebrations, evenings, dinner services.
Formation activities: debates on the life in Pyrenean and the
influence of the Camino de Santiago, the Historical and Artistic
Patrimony, the influence of the man in Means...
We understand this action like an activity with young people of
legal age, without for that reason it has to be losen the global
and educative character. Although the complementary activities
are optative, we will try that all the participants make them.
For that, the first day, once made the presentations and made
some activity of knowledge of the participants, this proposal of
activities is introduced in order to be decided with the
participants, by consensus, and therefore, by means of a personal
contribution of particular interests on formation, sport
activities, laisure activities, etc. By doing this, it is able to
make a program in which everybody has certain protagonism and
therefore everybody is responsible. By this way too all the
participants make all the activities and therefore the group
atmosphere is little by little more more and more favorable. To
make this program, supposes a greater degree of active
participation.

REGION.- Region of Navarra. Province of Navarra.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- Recovery of architectural heritage in the
area of Los Castillos, in the town.The activities are designed to
help participants get to know the surroundings.
Timetable: Four hours a day, monday to saturday.
ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In the Youth Hostel "Oncineda" - C/
Monasterio de Irache, s/n - Estella (Navarra).
LOCATION.- Estella is located 45 km. from Pamplona, on the
Santiago Pilgrimage Route.
The Tierra Estella landscape alternates vineyards, irrigated and
unirigated lands with an easy accesible mountain range and peaks.
In the shadow of the Road to Santiago, various Romanesque
monasteries and hermitages appeared, which makes the area rich in
artistic content. In Estella, San Pedro de la R£a (Cistercian
style), the Palace of the Kings of Navarre (today the Gustavo de
Maeztu Museum), the Closter of Santo Domingo, or the Eunate
Church confirm this.
Continuing the route towards La Rioja we encounter the
magnificent Irache Monastery, in Ayegui, and half way there, in
Los Arcos, announced by its 16th century tower, the Church of
Santa Mar¡a. We go through Torres del R¡o, with its singular Holy
Sepulchre and soon we arrive at the monumental town of Viana.
Full of history, this town offers us works such as the baroque
Town Hall of the Church of Santa Mar¡a, with its gothic and
renaissance fa‡ade. The changeable and irregular nature of Tierra
Estella boasts exuberant plantlife, in places such as Riezu,
known as the place that houses the source of the river Ubagua. We
can also choose to walk through oak, holm oak or gall oak trees
in Valeall¡n, Zudaire, Eulate or the impressive Aguilar de Cod‚s

Description of Workcamp:
REGION.- Region of País Vasco. Province of Alava.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- For the moment the work to be carried out
will be aimed at meeting the following main objectives:
From a scientific view point, the most relevant point will be get
to know, in as much detail as possible, all about a middle to
upper class large urban dwelling, from the height of the Roman
Empire until towards its end.
From a didactical point of view, and due to its major
architectural value and possibilities, it will be a case of
making a whole home visible and understandable.
This will be done using the following methodology:
An archaeological excavation with thorough archaeological
documentation (current state, extensions, explorations).
Identification of the dwelling's lay-out
Consolidation and "museumisation" work.
PARTICIPANTS PROFILE.- When enroling, participants should show a
certificate proving they have or are studying Humanities, History
or Archaeology.
A BRIEF ASSESMENT OF THE IRUÑA/VELEIA SITE.- On the Arkiz spur,
surrounded by the Zadorra river and between the modern-day towns
of Villodas and Trespuentes(Iruña de Oca, Alava), a great
fortified settlement or oppidum, belonging to
the group of Caristios, was to be found in the first millennium
b.c. It was one of the largest settlements of our Iron Age and
may have covered over 30 hectares. Its privileged location and
its human potential meant that at the beginning of our times it
was chosen by the Romans to build a city called Veleia. In fact,
this is the only city as such in existence in the Roman era in
what is now the Basque Country.
The city of Veleia was helped by the fact that it was near the
Astorga-Bordeaux road, the main land route to cross the Basque
Country in Roman times. Products from all the corners of the
roman Empire (Bizkaia, the Rioja, Gaul, Italy, Germania and
Africa, etc.) came to the city which became a centre for delivery
and redistribution of goods. Veleia´s importance increased during
the initial centuries a.d. and covered an area of around 80
hectares with hundreds of domus or urban dwellings and also
public buildings such as a theatre, thermal baths, a forum,
temples, etc.
Towards the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th century a.d.,
the city had a large wall, measuring over 1,5 km. built around it
which even enclosed a hamlet of over 11 hectares. This is the
late roman wall of Veleia, the largest architectural construction
of the roman era in the Basque Country and one of the most
important in the north of Spain. The city was abandoned as such
towards the end of the 5th century a.d.
Iruña/Veleia is like a huge historical archive covering over 1500
years of our early history. It is a well-conserved archaeological
archive of which a lot still remains to be discovered. The site´s
scientific potential is tremendous and its potential as tourist
site is quite clear as soon as the value of its remains are
realised and it is "museumised".
PROPOSAL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL WORKCAMP.- The idea behind setting
up an international work camp in Iruña/Veleia is to:
Offer youngsters the possibility of collaborating on a major
archaeological research programme which will become one of the
Basque Country's most emblematic sites.
Obtain direct experience of some of the main archaeological field
procedures and techniques.
Get to know a little bit more about the Basque Country's past and
cultural heritage. To do this we have prepared a programme of
activities (every day from Monday-Friday): based on
archaeological excavation and structure consolidation tasks. All
with the supervision of professional archaeologists.
The activities programme held every afternoon will included
teaching and training activities (an approach to archaeological
techniques and materials and their basic processing: talks and
seminars on Iruña/Veleia, its historical and cultural context).
These will be led and co-ordinated by professional archaeologists
and other specialists members of the site's research team.
ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- In a local school.

Description of Workcamp:
REGION.- Region of Pais Vasco. Province of Vizcaya.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- The Santa Apolonia Chapel is situated in
the district of Santa Apolonia de Iurreta, in the neighbourhood
of Orozketa. It forms part of the municipality's list of
religious architecture, and is one of the ten chapels in this
list.
It is popularly known as Santa Apolonia, even though its original
name is San Julián de Arandia, and the first mention of this
chapel dates back to the year 1075 according to the "Arandiako
monastegia" document. Initially no traces were found of the 11th
century to which it belongs, but in 1986 while its interior was
being restored, remains of a necropolis were discovered inside
the chapel, mostly bone remains.
Over the years it has undergone different restorations. In 1747
one of the chapel walls was rebuilt, and a few years later, in
1760, the floor was restored.
However, the vicissitudes of history have shown that it was not
until the end of the 19th century in 1893, after 11 accidents,
that the real renovation took place, when the chapel was rebuilt
and extended.
It celebrates its feast day on the 9th of February, on Santa
Apolonia's day.
The inside of the exterior walls has recently been restored, so
the restoration of their exterior is being considered, to enable
this chapel to continue forming part of the municipality's
history and artistic patrimony.
The restoration work involves:
Chipping the walls' exterior
Rejoining the exterior walls with cement mortar
OTHER ACTIVITIES.- The activity team will prepare a series of
activities so that participants on the project get to know
something more about the culture and the habits of the Basque
Country. The team will send the programme directly to the
participants who, if they wish, can make suggestions to change or
widen it.
These activities will be carried out every afternoon and at the
weekend. All group members will participate.

chapel dates back to the year 1075 according to the "Arandiako
monastegia" document. Initially no traces were found of the 11th
century to which it belongs, but in 1986 while its interior was
being restored, remains of a necropolis were discovered inside
the chapel, mostly bone remains.
Over the years it has undergone different restorations. In 1747
one of the chapel walls was rebuilt, and a few years later, in
1760, the floor was restored.
However, the vicissitudes of history have shown that it was not
until the end of the 19th century in 1893, after 11 accidents,
that the real renovation took place, when the chapel was rebuilt
and extended.
It celebrates its feast day on the 9th of February, on Santa
Apolonia's day.
The inside of the exterior walls has recently been restored, so
the restoration of their exterior is being considered, to enable
this chapel to continue forming part of the municipality's
history and artistic patrimony.
The restoration work involves:
Chipping the walls' exterior
Rejoining the exterior walls with cement mortar

Description of Workcamp:
REGION.- Region of Pais Vasco. Province of Vizcaya.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- The road comes from Olabarri and heads
close to the place where the Isasi estate would be, crossing a
stream over a small bridge. In this area the road comes to a
junction, which leads to the church of Andra Mari de Elexalde
(Romanesque, C.13) and at this point its paving is different to
the previous section. The type of road from Olabarri does in fact
allude to the 16th and 17th centuries, with a central strip of
narrow slabs placed lengthways along the road and small stone
paving perpendicular to the centre of the road which gives it a
somewhat unusual appearance, technically known as "fishbone" and
which is very rarely found in our historical land.
For its part, the road leading to Andra Mari has a cavity made up
of two lateral strips of normal-sized stones and filled with tiny
little stones. This type of road, known as elizbide in popular
speech, linked rural neighbourhoods and estates with the
surrounding churches and chapels.
While it is true that documents from the 15th century mention a
road that leads from Durango to Bilbao, passing by the Berna
house-tower, we have no documentary evidence regarding the
highway to Bilbao from Durango and Arratia in the municipal area
of Galdakao. Nevertheless, we do have cartographic data taking us
back to the 17th century, the time when one may talk of roads in
the strict sense of the word, i.e. organisation and planning of
the mainland road networks, and the time when the new Bilbao to
Durango road was opened.
In the 18th century, building conditions were already
pre-established and road regulations were similar all over the
Peninsula. The cavity measurements were widened and the interior
was prepared using several layers that were silted using a cover
of medium-sized irregular stones which were placed in an
irregular way over the central space formed by the lateral
strips.
ACTION PROPOSALS
Locating the route
Monitor the road to find out, as reliably as possible, its route
and the points where remains of its structure may be seen.
Cleaning and repair
Clean the road in order to gain access to all the information it
can offer us, such as size and construction systems, of both the
road surface and the cavity. It would also be advisable to
restore and repair it, but not rebuild it as our intention is to
maintain the patrimonial element and not replace it with a new
construction.
Description of the located elements and topographic survey
a) Graphically document the located elements and record the
state they were found in as well as the action that will be taken
on them.
b) Site the located elements (in this case; road, bridge and
possible limekiln). It would be advisable here to draw up a
topographic survey of the road in order to determine the contours
it goes through.
Drafting the report
Drafting the detailed report of the steps taken and the
obtained results (detailed description of the patrimonial
elements and their location, cartography, related documents
and as far as possible, oral testimonies).
Recovery and use
This point must be considered and developed by the Galdakao Town
Council itself in the light of the obtained results and the
issued report, and aimed at both the defence and protection of
the patrimonial elements on which work has been carried out, as
well as opening an alternative leisure-cultural area within the
municipal limits.

CAT01-
TRAMUNTANA 16/7-29/7
GIRONA ENVI 25 VOLS
This
project will take place at the Natural Park of Cap de Creus (Creus Cape). One
of the most interesting aspects of the cape is its geological formation, which
is easily visible as the majority of the cape consists of bare rock. Phenomen
such as metamorphism, folding and fracturing can be seen, giving us an insight
into the evolution of the landforms of the early palaezoic period in this
region of Catalunya. The rivers and streams that drain the zone are short and
only carry water after occasional heavy rains. At some points, though, rock
pools remain. The historical and cultural heritage of the Creus Cape adds to
its environmental value. There are a large number of prehistoric dolmens, that
of la Creu d'en Corbatella, at Roses, being particularly well-known. Submerged
in the waters of the zone is a valuable archeological legacy of shipwrecks from
the period of the Roman Empire.
WORK:
It consists in the cooperation with the Natural Park of Cap de Creus monitoring
the state of coastal fauna, as well as in the recovery of old rural paths in
the area. At the same time, we will develop tasks like:
1.
To clean and pick up
rubbish from several beaches in the area and trekking paths.
2.
To draw the trekking
paths on a map for publishing.
3.
To renove several
fountains, which time ago were used as pleasant zones.
4.
The follow-up of the
marine fauna.
5.
To work together with
the village population
FREE
TIME ACTIVITIES: walking and bivouac around the
Natural Park of the Cape Creus, soirees, and group activities and games to
promote cooperation and solidarity.

fact still the only tourist here. Unlike the boom of the tourism Selva de Mar
conserved more or less its identity. During the main season and at the weekends
live here, however, a grand number of holiday visitors. But a lot of them are
of village origin and renovated the houses of the village respectfully.
If
you feel a romantic vein in yourself, you should not neglect to explore the
corners of Selva de Mar.
