The route, in the vicinity of an old wine-making farm, restored as a nature school, is 525 metres in length and forms a circle. The route’s paving has been modified to improve the ease of transit. A rope handrail has been erected one metre from the ground which is attached to wooden poles at two-metre intervals.
It is designed for people with visual impairments but can also be used by those without vision problems in order to gain a deeper perspective and understanding of the place.
Facilities and observations
This route features several interpretive elements:
An information panel located at the beginning of the route, which outlines general information in standard lettering, Braille, relief lettering and sign language.
Tactile and visual aids: a set of devices designed to stimulate the senses and which invite visitors to touch, see, smell and hear. For the sense of hearing, horn-shaped listening devices have been installed at various points that invite visitors to listen to amplified versions of nature’s sounds. Regarding the senses of touch and smell, guiding devices and tactile markers invite visitors to touch the characteristic limestone of the Garraf, the thick leaves of the dwarf fan palm (a species typical to the area) and to smell rosemary or thyme leaves, among others.
