Monthly Journal, November edition 2024 Gradually the signs of nightly visitors from El Tribu de Jabalí are fading from the garden. More recent attempts of entering ´their garden of delicacies´ are visible on the other side of the newly installed fence but by the look of it the boars have finally given up. Good news…
