Aliadas

This app is about allied plants, our friends that heal, nourish and balance, and that emerged from the asphalt of the city during the pandemic. Some were already there and we did not realize it, others are still there and now we learn to recognize them. This tour is an action that can be done individually or in a group. The “Aliadas” plants route is an autonomous activity that contemplates, through a new perspective, the efforts to survive in an environment undermined by works and constructions in a living city. In this activity our mission is to highlight these small traces of care, knowledge and connection between us and nature.

The walk, following the health protocol of the first confinement of March 2020, will take place within a radius of 1 km in the Poblenou neighborhood, starting and ending the walk at number 46 Badajoz street from a mobile application composed of a map, an audio guide and photographs. The route passes through 10 points where different species recognized for their ancestral effects on our body and mind can grow through the cracks in the concrete. The audio guide explains the stories and characteristics of each one of them: parietary, clovers, dandelions, etc., inviting us, at each step taken, to awaken the body and its multiple levels of communication and listening.
