Mediterranean Farmland Comparative

Caption

These are photographs of the Murcia farmland taken from the Cabezo de Monteagudo at the beginning of the past century and in 2008. The most important difference is the intense housing development, as well as the different type of farming: horticulture in the old photo and fruit trees in the more recent one. In short, the photos reveal the graphic chronicle of how an agricultural landscape has become a suburban landscape.
