Welcome to the Family !



Thursday continued



Drove on across the plains to Fuente de Piedra, home to “El Refugio del Burrito” , a donkey sanctuary for maltreated and abandoned donkeys and mules from across Europe. It is a branch of the Sidmouth sanctuary, and is set amongst olive groves. They have an adoption scheme to raise money to support the sanctuary, and needless to say, we are now the proud parents of “Belen”, an Andalucian female donkey, who had lost a foal last year. For the modest price of 10€, we have an adoption certificate, and a newsletter on the donkey’s progress.

Belen is also pictured here with her best friend “Maria”, a small rather shy donkey.
