The cemetery of Badilla has, like the cemetery of Fariza, a peculiarity which is not unique in this region: by law, there can not be tombstones covering the graves; therefore it looks different from what we’re used to seeing.

In some areas it is quite neat and carefully taken care of, but visitors everywhere cover the graves with flowers, providing lots of colour and a sense of order to the setting.
