Today we hiked from the ocean up to the mountain area of Biokovo. We saw a lot of small stone houses that have been abandoned for years. The local people that were living in the mountains moved down to the seaside after an earthquake hit the area. Tourism also started to pick up during this time, which gave the locals many job opportunities. We tried to think of healthy ways that tourism could bring people back to Biokovo. We decided that it would be a good idea to create better hiking trails to attract tourists and locals. The views of the ocean are stunning from the mountains, so it´s a good way to get people to exercise!
