Es muy lindo ,las veces que he ido el pasto esta corto,muy lindo para hacer un picnic.

It's a short walk from the little parking. Can't get near to it as it must be falling apart.

Mooie oude reünie die je helaas niet meer van dichtbij kunt bekijken. Er staan nú hekken omheen. De toegang vooraan bij het pad moet dan wel overwonnen worden met een klim over een hek.
