I must confess that this morning I received with joy the fine of 30,000 euros to the City of Bees by urbanized part of the Cañada Real, according to Diario de Soria was known , on the front page and really big letters. My joy is nothing evil, and sorry for the City of bees, perhaps unaware of committing a crime when urbanized part of the cattle route to the industrial area and did it for the people industrious and exemplary.
My joy is on the other side. I am a lover of transhumance, especially since in the last year researching about this ancient activity, visiting Oncala and the surrounding villages often talking about their old nomadic life, hard and away from the family, yet as all rural, genuine, without artifice.
In 1982, Emilio Ruiz Ruiz and Clemente Sáenz Ridruejo, published in the magazine's number 64 Celtiberia a great job on Soriana Eastern Canada, where the route did, sometimes walking, and general off-road, between the Sierra Soria and the Valle de Alcudia.
As an example of the state it was in the road, will reproduce some comments on the first sixty or seventy miles:
"In Almarza County (...) an environment almost strictly devoted to the cottage has been replaced largely by breakage, loss fences, trees and meadows." "The Tera and Cube of the Sierra has cabin has been diminished by the surrounding, their remnants are widths of 20 to 40 meters." "Pride shady river [in Garray] has been stripped, with all sorts of logging, dredging and facilities. After Garray, at its end, the only Galiana containing some 20 meters. Land consolidation has erased many remains. " "Just before the junction with the road-Logroño Soria (About 2.5 miles from Soria) Roman pontoon, a large dome of about 3 meters high and two wide, has been overrun by garbage. Sad fate of galianos! ". "The entrance to the cattle Soria is degraded, having also been invaded by buildings."
livestock routes are not owned by anyone or any administration, are, according to the text of the Law 3 / 1995 "ecological corridors", "capital interest historical legacy, unique in Europe", etc. The autonomous communities where it runs are responsible for your care. Clearing and building on them is considered as a very serious and, in addition to the penalty, the law requires to repair the damage.
latter, if applied, would force hundreds of homes demolished in the capital. Without going that far, because the law 22/1974 was less favorable to Galiano in 1995, and governed it for twenty years, these roads as being of State heritage and thus of the English have to be protected from the insatiable greed (even in times of crisis) of property speculators and farmers oblivious to the limits of their estates. The fact that just moving the herds in the last fifteen years by the streams, does not mean that can appropriate any collective heritage. Nobody would think to take home a column of the site of Numancia, not knowing that it can cost you to prison.
why I'm glad the fine, though I hope not have to make it effective and, for once, be satisfied with the repair of damage caused. Pocket Touch is one of the few who understand. Moreover, in this case serves as an example deterrent.
