Sure is a dramatically scenic place. Conception Abbey is in my homeland, and it’s just pleasantly bucolic :-). Goats would fit in, although hogs are more prevalent.

“Goats would fit in, although hogs are more prevalent.”

Noble beasts both! Before the War, on the feast day of +Gerasimos of Leontarion, the people of our village would cook up to 400 pigs on spits and have a big festival. People always identify lamb with Greece, but actually the Greeks eat easily more pork than lamb.
