Even today it is a lush and fertile valley.





Perhaps one of the most amazing things about this site is that after 2000 years the mosaics are remarkably well preserved after centuries of being hidden then exposed to the elements after the site was first excavated by the French around 1912


Along the way we have been seeing an unfamiliar (to us anyway) fruit on sale, obviously in season at the moment. It is the fruit of the cactus. We tried some and they were very tasty. Made even better by the seller peeling them for you so you just have to eat them with none of the peeling hassle.
