Las vistas muy bonitas, pero molesto por las taxes que hay que pagar todo el tiempo en cada rincón por cosas que ya están ahí y no tienen ningún mantenimiento. Además, deberían de ponerlo más oficial, te cobran en una esquina del recinto y te tienes que fiar de que es legal y no te están timando. El lugar precioso.
