Maker & Impact
90 Varas celebrates transhumance, the seasonal movement of flocks across the countryside, and the iconic merino sheep at the heart of that story. This tradition connects changing seasons, diverse landscapes, and generations of shepherding wisdom.
Each year, sheep travel along ancient royal drove roads. The name 90 Varas refers to the traditional width of these historic routes, about 75 meters, wide enough to welcome entire flocks as they journey across Spain.
These routes are a living reminder of the connection between people, animals, and the natural world, a story you can carry into your next project.
