Mostly decorated In the 19th century, it makes us discover this space of peace and serenity that its inhabitants sought, as well as their taste for hunting, that is why it takes us to visit the fantastic dioramas of the Hunting Museum with species of animals that invite us to reflect on their value and conservation, and some of them can still be seen in the surroundings of the farm, such as the well-known fallow deer.
