RUTA DEL FERRO - Iron road


                                        Iron road of the Pyrenees. A cultural itinerary of Europe




This Ruta del Ferro is a easy walking trail starting just few kilometers from were we live. It is a nature walk along a small river and on the side of this walking trail there are many artist that has express their own ideas about iron...At the end of the first part of this route there is an old iron mine as well


As you can notice the bottom of the river is looking all rusty, due to the iron in the stones and soil


Art by the trail


More Art...


...And suddenly there are some figurines in the middle of the nature...


...Ok lets go and see them closer...










These guys are my favorite art on this trail...partly made of stone and the metal is from the manhole covers....


This one is from the commune of Massana


Mix of stone and metal
