Travel Itinerary

Set up behind low juniper bushes; winter visitors like black redstarts and alpine accentors feed in the open—photograph with golden cliff backdrop.

Descend the old shepherd stairway into a wild ravine where wild boar tracks crisscross the streambed and peregrines nest on tufa walls.

Lunch on bread, pecorino and wild fennel while identifying prints in the mud; retrace route back to rim for sunset.

Remote plateau with only sheep bells for company; set tent near centuries-old circular threshing floor for wind protection.

Easy morning walk back along the plateau ridge; final chance to spot kestrels hovering over steppe grassland before re-entering signal range.
