Highlights not to be missed during your hike:

Please note: The old dry-stone huts, also known as capitelles, are traditional structures built mainly along the boundaries of farmland by modest farmers between the 16th and 19th centuries. As they cleared stones from their fields, they used them to build boundary walls and, in some cases, shelters for storing seeds and tools, housing draft animals, and protecting themselves.
