It looks lovely, but drier than I realized it would be. I live near a National Park and appreciate so much the protected places in our world.

But then we saw that the man who handed us our permit kept a record of the number of visitors in a book; maybe they need that for their statistics to keep the park going, or they want to make sure no large, noisy hordes of tourists beset the park, frightening the animals and destroying the plants.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-7677749317759871742012-09-21T09:46:15.726+02:002012-09-21T09:46:15.726+02:00Hello Meike:

What puzzles us is why, when admission is free, it is necessary to obtain a permit. But no matter for, judging from what you write and show, it looks to be a wonderful place and well worth a visit. And how very different from the 'Costa too Much' scene with which we associate Majorca. Indeed it it really refreshing to know such protected places exist.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
