Every second house in this village is an inn & they are open selling beer & wine only from 11 till 1 pm. & from 6 till 8 p.m. They are well patronised & are always full.

There is a beautiful church here & very old, but inside the work of art is magnificent. The cave with Christ's body after being crucified.
