A hamlet surrounded by olive trees

Centuries-old olive trees surround the hamlet’s stone buildings: there are 1600, and they sketch a sweet, gauzy landscape in which to walk, dine and cool off in summer. Walking through the narrow byways, you can see mulberry trees, strawberry trees, kumquat trees, pomegranate trees and, heading on ever farther, you come to the orchards.
