I intend to live with zero waste as soon as possible. We have written more about the amount of waste over here in Spain. It’s one of my main concerns – the way people treat the single-use of plastic. We are so happy with the local ecological shop owned by Sebastian, who is very willing … Read more
Some things over here are still old-fashioned. On a regular basis, we encounter livestock of either sheep or goats. The shepherds wander around the villages and the agricultural terrains.
