Discover La Molata: Natural Heritage, Cultural Heritage and Holiday Apartment

La Molata is home to the Carrasca de la Vaca. Its regularly shaped tree form, together with the diameter of its crown and trunk, gives it a spectacular appearance. If you do not want to limit your trip planning to a single type of experience, you can consider natural heritage, cultural heritage, hiking and cycling as separate themes.

Culture

La Molata is classified as immovable cultural heritage. The site is considered an agricultural hamlet dating from the late 19th to the 20th century. La Molata is also considered to be partially in ruins. Its historical classification, agricultural character and described condition each give the consideration of the site its own distinctive emphasis.

When planning your trip, you can consider this cultural perspective separately from nature-related attractions and activities. This keeps the different themes clear without reducing the character of the site to just one period or a single attraction.
