This unique management model originated in 1880 following a tragic incident with a forest guard. In response, the community decided to purchase the land collectively between 1882 and 1883 for 18,548 pesetas. Since then, the property rights have been passed down through generations of local families.
“"The society is preserved more for identity and a sense of belonging to the village than for profitability, which today is zero."
The society currently oversees areas of high scientific and natural value, such as the Cova Gran archaeological site and the Balconet Lookout. Despite the complexity of modern inheritance laws, the 35 active members remain dedicated to ensuring this collective legacy survives as the heart of the village.
