When I zoom in, I can see the little bells.

Well darn, I guess we need to wait for Bill Shaneyfelt.

You are spot on on all counts, and agritourismos are now at the bottom of our list, after B & B's, hotels, and even hostels with bunk beds.

No idea! I only know heather from hiking.

What do you think these are? We are seeing them all over.

I don’t think so. Heather flowers are usually little bells.

I’ve always avoided agriturismo accommodation, even though some of them look really nice. It’s just that they tend to be out in the country and far from food (unless it’s a half-board situation).

We try to stock up on food at grocery stores. Restaurants open too late for us. By the time they open for supper we are ready for sleep.

We do like our food, and find your food commentary interesting. One of my main concerns is starving in Spain, with their late dinners. Jacinto says he will find food no matter what!

If they are growing thickly there is a scent of Eucalyptus in the air. It is sort of like cycling through a cough drop.

Can you smell them as you pass by, or do the leaves need to be crushed to release the scent?
