Hiking in the barren northwest

Yesterday we were in the wild northwest.

The landscape is very barren, with wonderful flowers in between...

There are a few locals living there, as well as dropouts, hermits, and healers. They have probably become tired of the many people and the ever-increasing tourism in Valle Gran Rey. There is no street music there, but if you are looking for absolute silence, are newly in love, or want to write a book, then it's the right place for you. There sits Buddha in the middle of the landscape, no temple, no flowers, just a few coins on his belly, which may bring happiness to the donors.

Some houses have been renovated by artists, one even has a fancy swimming pool and an exclusive outdoor shower.

There are so many possibilities to shape your life...

But it would be too lonely for me...
