Carchuna

Less than 25 years ago, the Carchuna plain looked like a desert. Brutally over a few years, the landscape has changed dramatically, plastic greenhouses cover the plain, men come down in groves from the surrounding mountains, villages are built. The desert has become a kind of Eldorado. But the gold here is vegetables, melons, tomatoes, gourds, which grow abundantly under the plastic and which the Carchuna gardeners export throughout Europe. The Andalusian peasants have invented an ultra modern form of agriculture. They have domesticated and imposed their desire on nature, which until then dictated its own law. Henceforth they have freed themselves from the constraints of seasons, geology and relief.
