The mountains themselves will become your constant companions, offering a dramatic allure that will captivate your senses. The region's stunning colours and heady scent of flowers and herbs, nestled into rough ground or splashed across a hillside, will create a lasting impression, with the warm-sounding buzz of hovering bees and the massed band of a thousand cicadas adding to the magical atmosphere.
