It is taking its first steps into a spot of enormous historical and natural wealth, property of the Fundación Dolores Bas de Arús. Besides the archaeological research, educational courses, cultural activities and workshops, some cultural activities are held to increase awareness of heritage conservation in our society. In addition to the general features of the project, the first results obtained during the archaeological interventions on the spot will be compiled documenting several phases of occupation since the Neolithic up to the present.
