Maimara

Maimara is a tranquil oasis village with green fields of onion and garlic set in contrast with this backdrop of richly coloured marbled rock known as 'La Paleta del Pintor'. The colours in the strata are formed by many different minerals

including iron, sulphur, quartz, copper, clay and even bodies of old crustacea (it used to be under water). There's a huge cemetery on the hillside, always brightly decorated at Easter.
