HIKING TRIP AND MOUNTAIN LITERATURE WORKSHOP IN ORDESA NATIONAL PARK

FROM NOVEMBER 8 TO 10

This November we propose a great proposal that combines walking with mountain literature. An excursion to one of the most attractive areas of the Pyrenees, the Ordesa National Park, seasoned with a workshop to talk of literature and mountain with Pilar Rubio Remiro, under the title: Landscape in Writing. Pilar is an editor, writer, former bookseller, cultural manager specialized in travel, nature and landscape literature and narrative from Africa and Asia. She is currently the founder and director of The Horizon Line Factory.

A Walking Trip to the Heart of the Pyrenees:

Routes where Mountains and Culture intermingle as we explore on foot some of its most significant mountains and towns, such as Ordesa, Linás de Broto, Broto y Torla

we will go through forests and meadows; we will border gorges and summit hills; We will have the opportunity to feel the wind, the sun and admire the The fauna pyrenean.

Routes through towns, mountains and valleys full of crop, crafts and history, museums, hermitages, fortifications, squares, architecture, gastronomy y literature.

WORKSHOP:  THE LANDSCAPE IN THE WRITING

Duration: two sessions in the afternoon of two hours each.

CONTENT

When we contemplate nature, we call landscape what our mind perceives from aesthetics. For this reason, the landscape is not a physical reality, but rather a subjective appreciation, since each person retains different elements in their gaze. How is landscape translated into literature and travel narrative?

The Pyrenees have attracted a good number of writers who love nature and the outdoors and these authors have left abundant descriptions of these wonderful landscapes. By walking through the same landscapes we will also experience many of the sensations that they expressed in their writing.

OBJECTIVES

In this workshop we will work on our feelings, thoughts and emotions when walking through nature in these beautiful landscapes and how we can reflect on it through some collective readings that we will do as a group. We will also propose some exercises and tricks to practice descriptions in a story and how they are inserted into its structure. Previously we will make a brief theoretical presentation about the presence and discovery of landscape in literature and some of its most interesting writers.
