Mountaineering

The dry stone walls, known in Catalan as "marges," consist simply of stones stacked on top of each other, without mortar or binding agents. They crisscross the island for miles. They are used as terraces on steep slopes, as field boundaries, to direct water in the Serra, or simply to remove stones from the ground. They often last for centuries; the oldest probably date back to the Moorish period (from the 10th century onwards), and many from the 17th to 19th centuries. The often-used term "pedra en sce" describes the construction method, which involves stacking stones without binding agents.

A dry stone wall in the Serra de Tramuntana is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and centuries-old landscape management. Stacked without mortar, the stones blend harmoniously into the mountain landscape. A characteristic element that uniquely combines the culture and nature of the Tramuntana.
