July 7, 2008: Living On The Edge
In the "Bigger Europe" IOtD the other day, I mentioned that Europe was worrying about overcrowding, in the early '30s. Now I see what they were worrying about.

I've also been to Bonifacio. It is a beautiful midievil town, the edge of which is perched so precariously on the edge of those cliffs. I arrived there by boat, and it's very dramatic when seen from below...!
Manu, what takes you to Corsica? I have French family with property there and many Corsican friends. I have been going since the 70's. Yourself? |

Oh. My. God. In the pic from Castellfollit de la Roca, Spain, just above the middle of the pic, on the side of the cliff...Is that a TV antenna? Or a child catcher? Or a gangplank?

At least these houses are built on solid rock, even if it is above a cliff. What about all the hillside houses in California right in the heart of landslide/earthquake country?
