Here are some pictures we took yesterday.
Definitely worth a visit and we will certainly go back. Our only difficulty was getting there as going by bus was not a great idea. The 827 followed by the 716 takes you relatively close. Happily, Nerea's mum came to our rescue and saved us from getting lost. We were surprised to see so many donkeys in one place and they had all kinds of farm aninals too. The speaker said that the donkey species has been of great service to mankind and now that we don't need it, we mistreat it, even though everyone seems to have a great affection for donkeys, especially Audrey and Nerea:) With the existence of animal sanctuaries such as Burrolandia, we can compensate and show affection and help (with a couple of kilos of carrots ) to make a friendly donkey's day.

Today's the first day of spring.
Our walk today will be to Burrolandia.
This
is a place in Tres Cantos that rescues and looks after donkeys. It is open to
the public from 10:00h to 12:30h on Sundays.
It looks amazing and we love the idea.
It is also on the way to El
Castillo de Viñuelas, a lovely castle that you can see from the Dehesa Boyal,
the woodland that we have in San Sebastián de los Reyes-
That view of the castle from the top of
the Dehesa across the green fields is like a picture postcard.
