Serra de Tramuntana - Spain

Tomorrow the Unesco committee i'll start deciding which world sites will be classified as Unesco World Heritage Sites. Portugal has 1 candidate and i can't wait to see if it will classified or not.
Serra de Tramuntana, in Spain, was one of the sites added to the World Heritage List last year. This card was sent by Fabienne "famalubel".
To have all the spanish sites, i only need now a card of the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula.

The Cultural Landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana located on a sheer-sided mountain range parallel to the north-western coast of the island of Mallorca. Millennia of agriculture in an environment with scarce resources has transformed the terrain and displays an articulated network of devices for the management of water revolving around farming units of feudal origins. The landscape is marked by agricultural terraces and inter-connected water works - including water mills - as well as dry stone constructions and farms. - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1371
