FIND US — LA DONAIRA JOURNAL

La Donaira matches tradition and heritage with new technology and 21st century ideas in a quest to find the best and most sustainable way of doing things – from farming and festivals, to simply luxurious tourism, gourmet organics, raising Lusitano horses and rare-breed cattle, wine-making and bee-keeping – and just good living in general.

The project, a kind of life lab, is run by a collaborative team and benefits from a constant flow of guests from around the world, visiting enthusiasts and volunteers, the advice of local farmers and international experts: a kind of philosophical polyculture which seeds bright new ideas for sharing.

Mapping was a subjective art until the advent of aerial photography, and even then, skewing the perspective and stretching lines of longitude and latitude allowed for creative interpretations, and still does. The Instituto de Estadistica y Cartografía de Andalucia has a comprehensive, digitised and searchable catalogue of maps, some ancient. This one, dating from 1705-1714, is one of several featured on Senderismo Tercer Tiempo, a blog run by a walking group based in Villamartin who have a wealth of information on the Sierra de Cadiz (Spanish only).
