This is how south of Portugal look mostly in the summer of the 2004. Majority of the forests were burn down. Only from place to place you can find a little island in this moon land. We where driving in this burned countryside for over hour. It was very depressive. I do not know what is true on the fact which I have read later in Portugal newspaper. They wrote that most of the time, reason for those fires is cigarette thrown out of the car window. In temperatures above 34C I can imagine that everything is dry and only little spark is needed.
