RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR STAY IN NATURE
- Neither leave nor bury the garbage. Take it to where there is a pick up service.

- Close the gates, gates, bars, cabin doors ... etc., that you are in the countryside. This prevents livestock or other animals from entering or leaving.
- Always cross the farmland along the paths. Never step on the sown ones.
- Dogs should, as a rule, be tied so that they do not disturb or frighten cattle or free animals.
- Respect and care for water sources and courses.
- Do not turn nature into a workshop, changing the oil or washing the car in any ditch.
- If you are a joker and drive on a track, drive slowly, because in any corner you can find walkers or cattle.
- In short and in summary:
