El Gorg Stream (R1 - 014)

A lush oasis in a harsh landscape, offering water, shade, and diverse vegetation, once vital for grazing, building, and traditional practices.
Nothing went to waste here The stream was not just a place where water flowed. It was also a resource. In a dry and harsh landscape, these areas were teeming with life: water, shade and vegetation. Livestock were brought here to graze. Reed was used to build and support crops. Rushes were used for tying, weaving or reinforcing structures. Myrtle was used for its scent and properties. Nothing was left unused. The species growing in the stream were not there simply because they could survive. For centuries, they formed part of the economy and daily life. Today, many of these practices have disappeared. How many of these plants would you know how to use… if you needed them?
