Information
in the Net


Collection of links with different itineraries for dry stone landscapes where you could find good examples of dry stone constructions. It must be said that it only includes those itineraries which have an active website. Unfortunately, this criterion inevitably excludes others itineraries of great interest, but which aren’t in the net.
