Try observing
Agricultural landscape
Olive trees, cork oaks and vines
The municipal description follows the landscape from the hillsides to the river plains: olive trees and cork oaks appear alongside vines trained up other trees. The source mentions poplars, plane trees and fruit trees, including apple, orange and pear trees. It also describes slopes shaped into terraces and small plains beside rivers adapted for farming. This is a way of observing the relationship between relief, water and cultivation, rather than an up-to-date inventory of every plot.
Vamos experimentar?
- From an accessible point, look for horizontal lines on the slope: can you distinguish walls and heights?
- Make a sketch with three elements you can see: relief, vegetation and signs of cultivation.
- Compare the slope with a more flat area, without entering fields or properties. What changes in landscape organization?
An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.
