Listen&pay attention to the wind telling legends in the beds of reeds, to the roar of the sea on the cliffs and the whispering wash of its wanes on the beaches, hear the sacred silence of the woods.
Smell&let yourselves be inebriated by the perfume of the orange blossom, grasp the musky fragrance of the Mediterranean maquis and the pungent aroma of the orchards.
Taste&savour the strong character of a cuisine that is in itself culture and tradition.
Touch&sink your hands in the white sand, brush your fingers over the wild flowers soaked in dew, let your mind skim over the horizon and follow its contours until tomorrow.
