(Enlargeable)

IMG_2310 malo.jpg
... through the winding narrow streets ...
(Enlargeable)
... I visited some others small towns there ...
IMG_2316 malo.jpg
... and took some shots ...
IMG_2285 malo.jpg
... but right now ... I can't remember ...
IMG_2296 malo.jpg
... the name of the town on the last five photographs ...
IMG_2050 malo.jpg
