The landscapes are so varied that it wouldn’t be impossible to represent here all of its beauties.

I will skip on the uncountable animals killed every year in this streets because I have decided to focus only on the good sides but unfortunately it is a sad reality you need to expect when coming down here.
In the fields you can find odd constructions made of stones that are called “pagghiare”
an ancient “pagghiara” integrated in a modern wall, nearby Castrí
They were used to store the farmers tools and as a shelter in case of bad weather conditions.

Thanks for the lovely scenery, too. So different than my little New England world.
The English countryside is just different but I have found it very nice too 😊
So very beautiful! Love those trees and that pagghiara.

Beautiful…the trees and the “pagghiara”. A pagghiara is a kind of barn or something else?
thank you😊yes, the pagghiara was used to store all the tools the farmer used and in case of bad weather as a shelter. I forgot to mention it in the post… I will do it! 😊
Thanks for the clarification…. 🙂
