Ancient Paths and Herders
The land around Freginals has very old paths. These paths were used by transhumant cattle herders. Transhumant means they moved their animals, like cows or sheep, from one place to another depending on the season. These special paths are called lligallos by the local people. They show how people used to live and travel with their livestock long ago.
