The Wonders of Mallorca: Step gardens

The Wonders of Mallorca: Step gardens
As our southern trip continues, we are nearing Sant Elm and spy these step gardens so typical of the Mediterranean. It looks like there are a mix of crop trees and plants here and I think I spy some olive trees. Below these steps it looks like there are vines too.

Immensely back-breaking but satisfying to work in these fields (I did it in the south of France one summer). Lovely shot, Herb!

A top shot Herb'... as Andy points out - I too wonder at the pure graft that went into constructing these terraces many years ago.. so many of them too... // Cheers and keep good from Dj.

Good to see you David. A lot of work here by someone. Some of these terraces could be hundreds if not more years old.

You're right, Herb!
They are gardens and not agriculture!
Here there is a lot of work and little income
But it's a great pleasure to observe the beauty of this landscape!
Marvelous!!

Yes, its looks like hard work and very little money made here. As you say, always nice to see this sort of thing and record it.

Keep safe. Herb

Another timeless image Herb..............except for the odd power cables, which are not too intrusive.............I would imagine this scene has not changed much since before we were alive!

Thanks Keith. Good that you have enjoyed this one. As you say, probably a very old scene in reality.

How I love these step gardens. We have a lot in Italy too, in each region. They are very old.

Thanks Daniela. Indeed, I have seen many such terraces in your country too. Borne out by necessity no doubt
