This new work, published by the Fundació Torre del Palau, offers ten didactic itineraries describing landscapes, including geological comments and historical reviews of farmhouses and heritage elements. Each route is accompanied by a schematic map, fact sheets with distance, difficulty level, and duration, and the guarantee that all are accessible by public transport.
The book primarily focuses on the municipality of Terrassa but also extends to neighboring towns such as Rubí, Viladecavalls, and Sant Quirze del Vallès. The objective is to promote responsible enjoyment of nature, inviting readers to observe the environment with curiosity and a desire to learn.
This publication follows the success of 22 itineraris de natura pels voltants de Terrassa, also from the same publisher. Hernández aims to satisfy the growing interest in hiking, targeting both professional botanists and amateurs, students, and university students of biology or pharmacy.
“"In the Green Belt, we find very unusual plants and rocks."
The official presentation of the book took place this week, and the author will offer a preview of the work next Thursday, April 16, at seven in the evening at the Ateneu Terrassenc. In the book, Hernández also addresses current issues affecting the Anella Verda, such as swine fever and invasive species, highlighting the importance of protecting and recovering local biodiversity.
