Can Trabal: Masia, Maquis and Routes

Can Trabal is a 19th-century farmhouse (masia). Its main building has a basilica-style floor plan with three bays and comprises a ground floor, an upper floor and an attic.

The designation as a masia refers to the rural architectural type of the building, while the year places its construction in a specific period. The basilica-style floor plan describes the arrangement of the main building; the three bays divide it into individual sections. With a ground floor, an upper floor and an attic, the vertical structure of the house is also fully specified. Thus, the building type, construction period, floor plan and floors stand side by side as interconnected architectural features.

Culture

The Festa Major de Can Trabal takes place every year on the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August.

The festival date therefore falls during the transition from July to August and is held annually on one of two immediately consecutive weekends. The Festa Major complements Can Trabal's architectural distinctiveness with a recurring local event whose timeframe is expressly defined.

Nature

The Bosc de can Trabal is a maquis area covering several hectares south of the Penya del Papiol. Its dense maquis includes holm oak, mastic shrub, dwarf palm and wild olive; it is accompanied by Aleppo pines and/or carob trees.

The area is geographically located by its position south of the Penya del Papiol and is also described by its extent of several hectares. The vegetation is not a single group of trees, but dense maquis consisting of holm oak, mastic shrub, dwarf palm and wild olive. Aleppo pines and/or carob trees accompany this plant community and expand the named landscape with additional tree species. The landscape description therefore includes both the low-growing, dense maquis and the woody plants accompanying it.
