harvested the resources of the high Pyrenees over millennia Its dramatic glacial landscapes of craggy cliffs and glaciers with high open pastures and steep wooded valleys as well as the persistence of pastoralism and a strong mountain culture notably the survival of a communal land-ownership system dating back to the 13th century stone tracks and evidence of iron smelting Le paysage culturel de la

spectaculaires de montagnes déchiquetées et de glaciers avec ses alpages et ses profondes vallées boisées soit 9% de la superficie totale de l’Andorre La vallée reflète les mutations du climat des conditions économiques et des systèmes sociaux ainsi que la permanence du pastoralisme et d’une forte culture montagnarde illustrée notamment par la permanence d’un système de gestion communale des

las zonas altas de la cordillera de los Pirineos a lo largo de milenios Sus espectaculares paisajes de laderas escarpadas y glaciares con vastas praderas y abruptos valles boscosos cubren una superficie total de 4.247 hectáreas Estos paisajes no sólo constituyen testimonios de los cambios climáticos del planeta sino también de los avatares económicos y de los sistemas sociales de sus habitantes así como de la perdurabilidad del pastoreo y de la pujanza de la cultura montañesa que es el único lugar de Andorra sin carreteras posee además diversos hábitats humanos –en particular

south-eastern part of the Principality of Andorra It covers an area of 4,247 ha or a little more than 9% of the national territory A protective buffer zone of 4,092 ha surrounds this area The upper part of the valley is an exposed glacial landscape the valley narrows and becomes more wooded while in its lowest section the river flows into a short gorge merges with the Madriu Valley from the South-West The Madriu-Perfita-Claror Valley is a microcosm that illustrates the way in which man has harvested the mountain resources over the past millennia It also reflects the persistence of an ancient communal system of land management – four communities own land within the property Its spectacular glacial landscapes with vast pastures and wooded valleys reflect climate change the last place in the country not to have roads comprises amongst others diverse agro-pastoral complexes in the high mountain agricultural centres in mid-mountain areas a communication system based on a network of partially paved trails and the vestiges of a specific steelmaking activity: the Catalan Forge the inscribed site contains many traces of human occupation that express in a singular manner the perfect symbiosis and the precious balance between the land and humankind between their resources and their needs; among these bornes or small huts with vaulted stone roofs some of which are still used by shepherds; orris in ruin houses with side barns where grain and hay were stored; traces of terraced fields and foundries; low stone walls and paved tracks Criterion (v) : The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is a microcosm of the way the inhabitants have harvested the scarce resources of the high Pyrenees over the past millennia to create a sustainable living environment in harmony with the mountain landscape The valley is a reflection of an ancient communal system of land management that has survived over 700 years The integrity of the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is based on the geographical and historical uniqueness that characterizes it The Valley forms a coherent unit of 4,247 ha combining cultural and natural values In this encyclopaedic and essential landscape the sedimentation of the physical and human experience is continuous including the extension in 2006 to the international border between Andorra and Spain have enabled the protection of the entire property The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley bears an extraordinarily well-preserved and complete testimony to a way of life and relationship between people and their land a distinctive relationship between the populations and nature is evident Based on respect for the environment and its emblematic character this relationship has never faltered among the local population Its character is defined by the wise use of the resources offered by the mountain and by the deep respect for the associated values and qualities The customary standards that have preserved it and that rule it are the result of this symbiosis between man and his environment The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley conserves its qualities intact Historically preserved because of its distance from urban pressure areas and the few interventions that could affect its authenticity such as the use of some construction materials or the presence of mobile huts that do not conform to the heritage character of the Valley Listed as property of cultural interest in the category of cultural landscapes the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is protected by the Law 9/2003 for cultural heritage of Andorra the protection zone prescribed by the Law was harmonized with the buffer zone With regard to the management of the property in agreement with the Law and the Declaration and Protection Decrees the four local administrations concerned with the management of the Valley drafted and approved a management document that was validated by the Andorran Government The Management Plan for the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley entered into force on 28 December 2011 and foresees the preservation of the cultural landscape In accordance with efficient conservation goals it controls the associated objectives and establishes the development of sustainable activities it emphasizes the need to maintain traditional activities such as agriculture which has noticeably declined and will require revitalization and support programmes so that the cultural landscape of the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley remains a living landscape and conserves the authenticity provided by the continuance of these cultural practices priority was given to the realization of an overall access strategy Already a member?

Sign up Explore our Food Tours → we cure anchovies differently than anywhere else,” Rafel Martín Faixó told us We were sitting at long wooden tables outside of his family’s winery Rafel is the son of Carmen Faixó and Rafa Martín Mota and together with his sisters Ester and Georgina the five of them comprise the Martín Faixó (MF family) brand featuring three restaurants in Cadaqués and the Celler Martín Faixó winery “My father’s family has been in Cadaqués for a few generations,” Rafel said Our anchovy recipe comes from my mother’s family and it’s at least 300 years old.” Unlike almost everywhere else along the Mediterranean cracked black pepper is used in addition to the salt when curing anchovies The pepper not only adds a new dimension of flavor to the tenderized flesh the anchovies made by the MF family take about one year to go from the sea to your plate with steep and treacherous slate-cobbled streets and pristine white walls It has managed to remain insulated from the rest of the ever-developing Costa Brava for centuries The long and winding mountain road that all visitors must traverse before arriving at this deep natural harbor just 30 kilometers from the southern French border has thwarted large-scale building projects like those in other coastal towns The town is located on the Cap de Creus peninsula – the most eastern point in Spain and the spot where the mighty Pyrenees finally end tumbling in a jagged heap into the Mediterranean Just 10 minutes up the mountain from Cadaqués right at the peak in the road where you either veer right and head north toward France or down into the town of Roses and the flat expansive plain that lies at the southern feet of the Pyrenees a Catalan masia (farmhouse) from the year 1300 After falling into serious disrepair and living a short life as a seedy nightclub in the 1980s Sa Perafita was purchased by the MF family who transformed it into a winery and seven-room boutique “rural hotel.” As we strolled the beautiful property with its views of impressive mountain peaks in the distance and the family’s own lush vineyards below Ester Martín Faixó shared the genesis of their winemaking enterprise The family purchased land that had belonged to a Belgian housing community in 2000 and the big stone and timber farmhouse began to be restored The first harvest from these new vines was in 2004 and the first wine bottled under the Celler Martín Faixó label was in 2007 We had the pleasure of being invited to the family and friends’ “End of Harvest” lunch at Celler Martín Faixó in mid-September and witnessed firsthand the passion that goes into making this family’s prized wines Everyone – from the current generation to the grandparents – pitches in during the harvest though this work is done more out of pleasure than necessity Apart from the core family members and other MF employees outside help is hired during the harvest to perform the bulk of this often intense work as all 14 hectares of grapes of Celler Martín Faixó are harvested by hand – that’s 60,000 kg of grapes annually We arrived to find the winery a hive of activity as the final harvest had been collected that morning and they were busy sorting ripe garnatxa grapes by hand on a long conveyer belt that led to the crusher The red grapes are gently pressed to release their juices and then allowed to ferment with the skins in huge stainless steel tanks in a back room of the ancient farmhouse building Family and friends laughed and joked as they quickly removed any rocks leaves or insects from the grape bunches rolling down the belt and everyone headed out happily to the lawn Endless bottles of the family’s white (100 percent picapoll) rosé (garnatxa and merlot) and red (garnatxa) wines accompanied platters of their cured anchovies massive loaves of crusty peasant bread and a ripe tomato salad with house-cured olives sweet onions and a reduction of the MF vermouth (made from an atypical base of oak-aged cabernet sauvignon) Up next were heaps of steamed clams and mussels followed by an aromatic fideuà (noodle) casserole with sausage and pork ribs Rich chocolate cake and many boxes of taps de Cadaqués a local type of sponge cake in the shape of a cava cork Though the history of the MF wine business itself is relatively young the Martín and Faixó families have been carving out a name for themselves in the Cadaqués food scene for more than 50 years starting with the founding of the famous Casa Anita restaurant by Rafa’s mother in 1960 Casa Anita now lays claim to the title of “oldest restaurant in town” and is still going strong Meliton Faixó founded the Cadaqués stalwart Bar Meliton around the same time Both Casa Anita and Bar Meliton were favorite haunts of iconic town figures such as Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí and the walls are still adorned with relics and reminders of this era the same year that they opened their own restaurant right on the main passeig of the Cadaqués waterfront Can Rafa has risen to the top of the local dining list specializing in local seafood and rice dishes (the arrós negre or “black rice” with cuttlefish and squid ink was our favorite) the torch has been passed to the new generation as all three of the Martín Faixó children (now in their 20s and 30s) are deeply involved in running the family businesses Ester taking the reins of the Verástil Crepery just two doors down and Rafel running Enoteca MF around the corner a wine and tapas bar/specialty shop that is the family’s most recent endeavor At first the business plan was to open only a wine bar that featured the Celler Martín Faixó line and served a few snacks to go with the libations as well as a shop that acted as an outlet to sell their house-cured olives and anchovies customers clamored for more substantial food offerings and the Enoteca quickly became a full-blown tapas bar with a menu that reflects the seasons Rafel is the head of the kitchen and cooks many of the dishes with the support of former Michelin-starred chef Joan Borràs who is in charge of the central kitchen facility at Sa Perafita (where most of the Enoteca prep work is done) With intriguing dishes like seared pig foot roulade with pistou and cuttlefish canelons with a squid ink sauce Rafel led us to the water just 10 meters from where we were sitting and showed us what looked like a weed with small yellow flowers growing out of a stone wall along the beach lemony flavor that is a perfect complement to rich fish species like tuna or salmon Locals concur that the best months to visit Cadaqués are June and September; the weather is beautiful and the tourists are few August is absolutely unbearable because of the crowds except for some weeks in November and another few around Christmas the MF family’s businesses are running at full tilt It’s nearly impossible to go anywhere in town without seeing a bit of the MF family be it the members themselves out for a morning coffee or their wines and olive oil in restaurants and markets all across Cadaqués they have been among the most welcoming we have been lucky enough to meet and no trip to Cadaqués would be complete without sampling at least one of this foodie family’s gastronomic labors of love loading map - please wait...Map could not be loaded - please enable Javascript!→ more information Here are five unique trails that offer

projects.  According to ECO, Smartenergy a company based in Switzerland wants to invest in the energy transition from Portugal and has three projects dedicated to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) planned for Portugal Lisbon, Aveiro and Porto are the locations chosen to move forward with these three projects, said Pedro Guedes de Campos, director of Hydrogen and SAF Business Development at Smartenergy, at a conference organised by the Portuguese Renewable Energy Association (APREN) the company will be able to respond to 21% of aviation fuel consumption in Portugal and considering the current limitation of only being able to mix SAF by 50% with traditional fuels the director of Smartenergy elaborated on a particular project: the Leça H2 Green Valley (Vale do Hidrogénio Verde de Leça) The objective is to produce green hydrogen that fuels the production of sustainable aviation fuel The idea is that Smartenergy will be responsible for producing green hydrogen that will be transported with which Smartenergy already has a memorandum of understanding the concession of which is in the hands of REN which connects Quereledo (the location where Smartenergy wants to produce green hydrogen) to Perafita where there is an old refinery and where another potential partner This gas pipeline has a characteristic that allows it to be used to transport 100% hydrogen the green hydrogen would serve the factory of synthetic sustainable fuels Smartenergy wants to take advantage of the CO2 generated in Lipor's activities to produce its fuels An agreement is being finalised with Lipor that brings together the three parties – Smartenergy The location is privileged not only considering the gas pipeline but also the proximity to the Port of Leixões and Francisco de Sá Carneiro airport The project involves 390 megawatts-peak (MWp) of photovoltaic installation and 75 MW of wind generation to fuel the production of green hydrogen; This production presupposes a “machine” that makes hydrogen possible the goal is to obtain between 13,300 to 34,200 tons of hydrogen and 20,000 to 50,000 tons of jet fuel annually We appreciate that not everyone can afford to pay for our
