The second season of Terra Project continues to pursue the never-ending water cycle, from the mountaintops to the sea, and the more we learn, the more the planet shows us.
In our tireless journey following the Water Cycle, last May 21st a team formed by FOOTDISTRICT, Nike ACG and Ocean52 together with the people selected to participate in the third Outdoor Experience of Terra Project, traveled to the famous Mediterranean coasts of the Costa Brava to experience the interface of land and sea in a totally different way: a very special via ferrata. Nestled in the headlands near Sant Feliu de Guíxols is the Via Ferrata de la Cala del Molí, the only Via Ferrata over the sea in Europe.
Our team of guides, led by Marc, took us on a wonderful and exhausting trip along the cliffs, where yellow-legged gulls were raising their spring chicks and thick fog watered the overhanging pines.
May is known for its mild spring temperatures, but an extraordinary heat wave arrived and met the cooler sea water, creating a thick layer of fog. A beautiful reminder of both the cardinal water cycle and the terrible threat of global warming.
KNOWING YOUR SURROUNDINGS IS LOVING THEM
Jacques Cousteau used to say that people can only protect what they love, and to love something you have to know it well. That’s why the group got to know the pristine ecosystem of the coastal cliffs first hand, and decided to give back to it in gratitude for the experience by picking up trash along the way back from Cala del Molí.
Because this is the true mission of Terra Project: to bring people closer to nature, to make them fall in love with it and to inspire them in the need to protect our planet.
AN ALLIANCE FOR THE PLANET
Terra Project is a joint project of FOOTDISTRICT with Nike ACG and Ocean52 – the only beverage that allocates 52% of its profits to the care of the oceans – that seeks to encourage people to establish closer and real connections with nature. And we do this through unique outdoor sport experiences, with special emphasis on the care and protection of our environment.
Besides, apart from the proposed Outdoor Activities, you can always sign up to clean the Barcelona coastline while kayaking or paddle surfing.
