Coast The monastery in the previous posting sits on this promontory, where more exciting than the building I found many Narcissus bulicodium growing.

The Mediterranean climate is quite diverse, in the above section of coast we found many terrestrial orchids growing as well as Astragalus, Thyme, Rosmarinus and Lavandula species. The picture of the coast below was quite the contrast, being protected by hills and in the lee of the prevailing winds the vegetation was much higher and included Cistus, Pinus pinea and a mixture of many smaller plants.
