At LPS, we strive to contribute to a more democratic and sustainable society. One of our strategies is to map and analyze the conflicts affecting the Sierra de Guadarrama. With this program, we address local conflicts through popular and traditional knowledge. We also believe it is essential to foster dialogue about these issues in public and rural spaces.
This is why we’ve implemented a local project called SERRANÍA, where, through conferences, walks, concerts, and much more, we have brought traditional knowledge and crafts closer to the local community.

Poetry and Music Equals Legendary Art
As we believe, art has a unique power stretching connections between people. Since 2021, through PAMELA we have contributed to the development of a strong and diverse local community that is looking for new ways to consume art and culture. This is its essence, and it has a very positive impact on how we relate here in La Sierra.
Artistic residencies, concerts, and fairs are some of the activities that make up the PAMELA ecosystem. Follow us on Instagram for updated information.
