| Wild boar hunting ground (I didn´t feel safe on the same level as them) I moved my tent away from the forest when it got dark because I was surrounded by wild boars! I ended up sleeping in the car park A forest (Bomberos) 4x4 passed early in the morning (about 8am), but I had already packed away my tent and was making coffee
