On our way to Monte de la Cruz, we had a small stop in a plant nursery to take this shot. It started raining but the clouds, the fog and the colors of this place made it magical!

The bathtub in the bathroom suite had a leak. After taking a shower the bathroom floor ended with water (lots of it). I complained to the front desk but the solution was towels. That was not acceptable at all.

Didn’t go out and explore as I was only there for 1 night before flying out. But from what I saw from the car it looked less touristy. Full of University students. Very loud at night
