Dry Stone Route in Sant Jaume dels Domenys
This route is of moderate difficulty due to the great slope that leads to the forest area where it used to be worked. The route begins at the town hall of Sant Jaume del Domenys and passes through the Llobets pine and the Bassa Gran fountain. Throughout the route, we find different structures of dry stone that have been preserved over time.
Places of interest
Bassa Gran fountain
The Bassa Gran fountain was an old space for women to wash clothes. It has now been converted into a leisure space. The head of the fountain is made out of a slab wall of irregular stones with undulating crowning and semicircular sink with a brick border placed in a booklet. The wall extends on both sides in the shape of a hemicycle with stone benches attached to each side and ends in square section pillars and pyramidal crowning.
Dry Stone barracks
The Dry Stone barracks in this section are divided by the beginning, half and end of the route. They start in the Caseta dels Llobets and appear more as they enter the forest area until they finally return through the Font de la Bassa Gran.
