We climbed the stairs that were built to reach them, and the way up was very pleasant in spite of the heat. You could see the entire valley, houses, agricultural fields, vegetation and birds in flight.
Once in the caves, an intimate encounter between the children and the space took place while they ran around and discovered all the nooks and crannies. They would cling to the stones and a magical space for exploration emerged. Some felt the need to find a resting place; others a place where their curiosity would take the lead and let them merge with the dark labyrinths of empty rooms.
They were totally charmed by the place, happy at the freedom it offered to them; and as always, enjoying and appreciating what we share.
