Introduction
We are next to Ca n'Oliva. We find a pretty cork oak with different feet, often the result of the previous exploitation of the forest to make coal. This is a medium-sized tree (not exceeding 20 metres), with a clear top and persistent leaves. It can be clearly distinguished from the holm oak by its bark, much thicker and rougher and which, once peeled, becomes smooth and a reddish colour that darkens over time. It likes land without lime, a mild climate due to the proximity of the sea, with no frosts and sheltered from the Northern winds. From 0 to 1000m altitude. All of these conditions are met where we are now. The cork of its bark has been used for numerous purposes, but corks for bottles has been the most important. Sant Feliu was once a very important centre for the cork industry and today, despite the heavy decline of said industry, some businesses are still operating. The wood; hard and strong but irregular, was used to make parts for boats, carts, tools, etc. Other exploitation projects include the manufacturing of coal and use as firewood. They can live up to 500 years.
