Its haunting, wild setting amid mist-covered mountains, ancient stone paths and a profusion of roses and bougainvillaea is as timeless and unchanged as its poverty-stricken population, dressed in layers of worn, soiled clothing, sleeping in rag bundles on the sidewalks, and driving small flocks of donkeys and cows through the main streets...
