Alentejo for me is vast fields with solitary holm oaks that cast wide shadows. Alentejo is goats and cows resting in those wide shadows. Alentejo is narrow roads with dazzlingly beautiful eucalyptus trees on the side. Alentejo is hills with symmetrical rows of olive trees. Alentejo is storks, majestically sitting on their big nests on top … More Alentejo Revisited
Today we walked for five hours off the beaten tracks, where we passed mossy rocks and majestic holm oaks. We crossed green fields, went through enchanted forests and below jagged rock platforms. We were guided the path by piled stones, cow dung and goat droppings. Oh yeah, and some sheep, but they went the other … More The Walk of the Hidden Valley
Through these photographs I want to show my fascination with the environment. I live in the countryside and every morning when I wake up I see the vast beauty of my surroundings.

The Valle del Genal near Ronda is best visited in autumn, when you find the chestnut trees colouring red and one can so clearly see the borders with the evergreen Mediterranean forest.
