The second edition of the Dry-Stone Workshop, organised by the MACMA's Culture and Heritage Department and Xarxa Jove, begins next Saturday. Calp is hosting the first day of this course, which will be attended by 30 young people from Marina Alta.
The course in the double-sided wall speciality will start in Calp with a theoretical session held at the Casa de Cultura and another practical session held on the well-known Camí Vell from Calp to Moraira, a municipal area next to Las Salinas. The course will continue on subsequent weekends in Orba and Castell de Castells.
The MACMA workshop aims to be an introduction to this construction technique, which was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018 and is a landmark in the landscape of our region. The course is spread over three weekends and three different locations in Marina Alta: Calp, Orba and Castell de Castells, depending on the technical requirements of the teachers.
