    Houses in the small village of Qunu in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa is reminiscent of Tuscany. At first, their placement seems random until you realize that each one of them is watching over carefully carved farms handed down by generations of families.

At first, their placement seems random until you realize that each one of them is watching over carefully carved farms handed down by generations of families.

The story would have found it easy to cross this sleepy and modest village if it was not the place where Nelson Mandela spent his youth. A youth that he considered the happiest time of his life.

"Nature was our playground," he wrote in his memoir Long Walk to Freedom. "The hills above Qunu were dotted with big smooth rocks that we turned into a roller coaster, we sat on flat stones and we slid along the rocks until our bad were so painful. that we can sit down.

Qunu was Mandela's rock. It was the place where he always came back, the place he dreamed for 27 years of incarceration, the place where he spent his twilight years and finally, l & # 39; where he rests.
