This itinerary is linked together by two elements: water and fire.
Water ran the mills and turbines and is a symbol of the ancient driving force necessary for a number of human activities. Fire is the vital source of heat and energy necessary, among other things, to cook food and manufacture lime. And of course one could also metaphorically connect this element to the religious fervour that has been a hallmark of rural life over the centuries.
