Advice and warnings
It is very important to bring warm clothes and a proper sleeping bag
(that keeps you warm and covers well your face) as the nights are very
cold. You can bring swimming costume and towel as near the camp there is
a river. We recommend to bring also sun-cream (the afternoons are
usually quite sunny) and mountain boots (there are some areas where the
terrain is abrupt).
Activities, organization and services
There are a series of activities being prepared, like lectures, debates,
workshops or theatre plays. If you are interested in organizing any
activity to share with the rest inform us to set a definitive timetable
with enough time and prevent any activities to coincide in time. As soon
as we have a final program we will upload it in the web.
There are oak and beech forests nearby, with very interesting natural
sceneries like the karstic caves of Valporquero (where it is possible to
practice speleology) and Llamazares or the Nocedo waterfall. So on it
is a mountain area with suitable places to do trekking and climbing.
The camp is equipped with kitchen, a dining room (protected from the
rain), infirmary, bathrooms with hot water…
The different tasks necessaries for the development of the Camp
(cleaning, meals preparation, collecting of firewood…) are done by
those present in the camp. After dinner there will be an assembly to
create the groups to do those jobs, it is important a good participation
to prevent few people from having to do a lot of work.
