Granite, an indisputable character of the landscape of the Sierra de Guadarrama, has served for the development of a rich activity around it. The quarrying came to acquire great prominence in many towns in the area. From the hand of Tomás Villamayor, stonemason of the Colmenar Viejo Stonemasons Association, we will learn more about this ancient and dangerous trade. We will talk about its past, present and future perspective of this very traditional activity linked to our mountains.
