Josetxo Mayor climbs Mount Ulía, overlooking San Sebastian, every day, to clear tracks. Javier Etxepare has reconstructed two hundred watersprings. Xabier Cabezón knows the Leitzarán Valley inch by inch. These people have chosen a piece of the world and devote their efforts, their time and money to look after it. Others like them repair the damage that hurts their little territory, strive to pamper visitors so that they can enjoy them.
Along the twenty-five chapters of the book, Ander Izaguirre realizes that these early-rising characters get to the road with a hoe, a sickle, a log or diving gear. They are custodians to secret landscapes in Biscay, Guipuzcoa, Alava and Navarre. They save some knowledge that cannot be forgotten. With their small gestures, they keep the world going.
