Its one of my top places to see, I always send my visitors that way too for a daytrip! ;) This villa is really well maintained, its under cover too so rainy day - perfect! I was inspired by the young man's coffin decorated with scallop shells and rope. It was found with another of a young woman in the mausoleum (which is have been left covered). Very intriguing, definitely worth a ghost story or two methinks! Thanks so much for stopping by. ;))Taleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317577935549931974noreply@blogger.com
