The cheese stone

This stone is all that remains of the low wall that once protected an old goya, and which prevented cattle from polluting the water. Several stories claim to explain the name given to this strange stone. While some say that this was where the surrounding lords used to pay their taxes, part of which included a portion of their summer cheese production, others say that this stone served as a resting place when men used to transport cheese on their backs (excerpt from the booklet: “Au fil de l’alpage” or “Through the alpine pasture”).
