Tout le long du nord-ouest un allongement des collines paysannes la suit avec maintenant des roches décharnées, des reins échinés par la pluie portant encore parfois un tout petit verger d’oliviers transparent, ou bien un champ de blé pendu sur la pente et dont le carré vert bien délimité gonfle la couleur sauvage du reste de la colline.
