The 7 faces of Pedraforca

In the middle of the 19th century, this area suffered an exodus of people to richer and more resourceful areas.

Faced with this situation there were a number of women, the Trementinaires, who took advantage of ancestral knowledge about plants and their medicinal skills transmitted orally to travel throughout Catalonia laden with herbs, oils and remedies that they made themselves destined to “cure and cure all evils”.

This trade was practiced by most women in the valley for over a century.
