Introduction

In this forest of the Mediterranean shore we can find amongst other plants a few vines, one of the most common and known is the Ivy, which adapts to many different environments.

The Ivy is endemic to Europe, it is evergreen and has medicinal properties, they can live up to 500 years!

But we can also find the broom, the madder, and the hops (Photo), another Clematis vitalba that generates interest and especially business.

Hops live in rivers, torrents and streams, and one of the main uses is related to their flowers, because they are used to flavor beer, it is likely to be found during the route.
