Small medieval villages high above the entire landscape changes when you get closer to the sea; and behold, cypresses, vineyards and olive groves gives in to wheat fields and pinewoods. The green of the pine forests, the red soil rich in iron, the yellow of the wheat and of the sunflowers, the blue of the sea merge continuously, creating a landscape of disarming beauty.
