Unfortunately, on the day we went (April 4, 2026) someone started a fire

It's actually a very beautiful place, but our accommodation warned us not to be up there later than 3 pm, as it could be dangerous because tourists are apparently sometimes mugged. We did indeed see a young man, about 20 years old, wearing a red and blue Barcelona Jamine Lamal jersey, who was acting very strangely and then took pictures or videos of us at the cross until I told him to stop. We didn't feel safe there and were afraid of being robbed!
