Descripción
This is possibly the biggest restoration project in the whole of the Mediterranean basin:
the selective deconstruction of 450 buildings and the paradigmatic management of 42.000m3 of residue, recycling virtually 100% of the material;
the elimination of all invasive exotic species over 90 hectares, especially the ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis);
the restoration of the orography and drainage to re-establish the natural erosion and sediment transport dynamics;
the implementation of a public use project which exudes the values of the area by ordering and grading the itinerary and proposing a network of rock and animal identifiers
