Description
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.

DINOSAURS AND MINES
From the Cretaceous to industrialization
Description
This tour will allow us to discover the close relationship between paleontology, mining and geology.
65 million years ago these valleys were inhabited by dinosaurs,
just after its extinction, geological movements led to two phenomena: the formation of the Pyrenees and the formation of lignite (coal). Millions of years later, in the middle of the 20th century, mining became the economic engine of the area, and while it was being carried out
the exploitation of the Fumanya Open Sky mine revealed the dinosaur or paleontological remains of Fumanya Sud.
