A refreshing breeze blows through the olive groves at Alan and Tina's house at the western end of the Alpujarra valley near Orgive in Spain. I have just witnessed the weekly event of water cascading down the acequias which are irrigation channels built by the Romans. The temperature is 36 degees Centigrade and the Cicadas are singing their heads off. The water splits into smaller channels and ends up as pools of water in the vegetable garden or washing around the roots of mature trees.
