Dryland and Mountain: The Invisibilities

There it is, but it is not visible

What is not visible is as important as what is seen, sometimes, even more. The Valencian people have not only been inhabitants of the barraques in the irrigated farmlands, as the cliché would have you belie­ve. The biggest part of our territory is dryland and mountains. This has gen­erated a specific culture, adapted to an enviroment which is not easy at all.

lts unique people and lifestyle have been invisible in the popular image. We talk about a forgotten ter­ritory, orphaned of traditional uses and activities, which has a minar role within future plans.
