chats on theoretic archaeology will talk about lithic industry,
fauna remains, human evolution, zooarchaeology, etc. Meanwhile,
the didactic archaeology workshops will focus on prehistoric art,
fire, tools, weapons, etc. Finally, some historical and
scientific audiovisuals and documentaries about other
archaeological sites will be shown.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES.- The main leisure activities organized for
the workcamp are the following:
Excursions to several towns of Extremadura: Mérida, Cáceres,
Guadalupe, Trujillo, etc.
Hiking routes.
Guided visit to the Natural Monument ´Los Barruecos´ and its
Interpretation Centre, both located in Malpartida de Cáceres.
Guided visit to the ´Vostell-Malpartida´ Museum and to the
Seasonal Migration Livestock and Wool Laundry Interpretation

Videoforum.
Astronomy workshop (the work camp is located in a suitable place
for this means).
It is also possible to use freely the municipal swimming pool of
Malpartida de Cáceres.
ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- Camp assistants, together with monitors,
will be lodged in the municipal council refuges, located in the

km far from the city of Cáceres. This is the town where
participants will be lodged and laboratory works will have place.
The archaeological sites, instead, are situated in different
natural locations between the city of Cáceres and the town of
Malpartida de Cáceres.
TRAVELLING INSTRUCTIONS.- If participants can´t arrive directly
from their original town to Cáceres, they will have to travel by
train or by bus to the city of Cáceres, preferably from Madrid or

Min Age: 18 Max Age: 24 Places: 9
Description of Workcamp:
REGION.- Region of Galicia. Province of Pontevedra.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK.- Environmental activities like to conserve
the surrounding of the island, to help in prevention of forest
fires and to help to clean gulfweed wearing neoprene clothes in
the South Island. Participate to information activities to
visitors and to help physical disabled (wheelchair or old people)
visitors and to collaborate with the Environment Service of the
National Park.
COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES - LEISURE ACTIVITIES:
Leisure activities and sport activities (snorkel).
Two possibilities: Visit by fishing boat around the islands or
diving baptism.
Note: These activities are for your guidance and may be changed
in the development of work camp
ACCOMMODATION/FOOD.- Participants will be accommodated in tents
in the work camp of Cies Islands (Vigo-Pontevedra). The site has
buildings as dinning room and bath-room.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided by specialized
staff.
LOCATION.- This workcamp is located in the Cies Islands, in
Monte Agudo Island (on the north) to be precise, on the Ría de
Vigo, in Vigo Municipality.
The Cies Islands and archipelagos of Cortegada, Sálvora and Ons,
belong to the National Park of Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
The ecologic value of its marine habitat is incalculable because
here there are some of the most representative examples of
Atlantic marine eco-systems.
Marine habitat of the National Park is a big mosaic of different
habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of flora and
fauna. We can find habitats defined by the European Community
like ´community priority´: reefs, lagoons or sandbanks covered
all the time by no deep marine waters.
On land we can find ´community priority´ habitats too, likes
the grey dunes or the ´aerohalins´ littoral bushes or the
southerner atlantic humid ´brezo´ bushes.
The most important problem in the National Park conservation is
the human pressure. In Cies Islands the eucalyptus plantations,
pines and acacias have occupied the place of native plants. The
eradication of these plantations is a very long place process and
the National Park is working in and the results will be seen
gradually.
Actually, it is being done actuations to develop a correct
management of the public use, the islands residues, the
navigation, the sail, etc.
NOTE: This workcamp has no access for physical disabled people.
TRAVELLING INSTRUCTIONS: The access to the workcamp will be by
ship from ´Estación Marítima´ (besides Nautico) of Vigo Port.
The way takes it 50 min. to arrive at Cies Islands.
