Description

The deed of awarding the Molina chalet to the Center Excursionista de Catalunya is a valuable testimony to the importance of hiking in the construction of contemporary Catalan identity. This document reflects the central role of hiking organizations in promoting knowledge of the territory, popular culture and the values ​​of coexistence and respect for nature. In a post-war context, these entities became spaces of cultural resistance and social cohesion. The chalet, located in the Pyrenees, symbolizes the connection between physical activity, education and the preservation of natural heritage. This documentation is part of the theme of the “beats of Catalan society” and shows how hiking contributed to the formation of an active citizenry rooted in the territory.
