Introduction
| We are at the Collada de Dalt de la Balmeta and range of the same name. These pastures are kept open for the action of domestic livestock. If they stop grazing, the black pine quickly re-colonizes the space. |
| They are also taken advantage of by other animals such as the chamois and the hares; Also birds such as the jelly halves or yellow bean stalks. In spring and summer, we will see all kinds of flowers: in September, the saffron is found blooming (foto); scattered here and there we will see a kind of thistle: the cardigan. |
| The carlina or cadiguera does not have a stem and the leaves in the form of a rosewood on the floor have many thorns. They are very fond of them. It is hung on doors of houses and serves to indicate the degree of environmental humidity. The root, thick and deep, is used in the elaboration of wines and appetizers. The receptacle is edible, like artichoke. |
