The mother of my host has a small wooden house - technically a food drying shed to avoid building permissions - in the mountains at the head of the Soca valley. We spent a couple of weekends up there as a holiday away from the building site. This old village was destroyed by an earthquake but one row of houses built in the traditional oval shape has been restored. They built like this to provide shelter from the 'borea' a wind with exceptionally strong guststhat is channelled up the valley from the south-east.
Small streams have been dammed to provide water for animals and agriculture but they run dry frequently leaving these moss walls behind.もっと詳しく
