The following day, Saturday, we headed off for Esta Mariu, Spain. 

 
There were no differences in the roads, but our confidence in Doug’s driving had improved markedly.  We were no longer biting our fingernails as he made his way around the tight turns (we had none left), and our spirits were high!  But to be honest with you, the drop off from the roadway was even more impressive!

 
One of the startling vistas was the terraces for farming that have been developed over the centuries.  You can see them up the hills.  These take many years to create.  The man-days required to move the rock, terrace the land, till the soil – and the effort just to walk the hillsides made our minds sore.


But we found the cultivated fields all over this area to be beautiful
This is the village of Esta Mariu.
