Burrolandia aka DONKEY LAND!!

This weekend we visited Burrolandia (yes, donkey land)! Our Aunty Argi visited to drop off some food and stuff, and said she was going shopping and to visit Burrolandia for the afternoon. So we hitched a ride with her! It was lots of fun, and there were many cute animals to pat. Burrolandia is a mostly donkey-based zoo-like establishment that encourages the protection of and educating people about donkeys.

Burrolandia is a great attraction for families from all around Madrid, and it was quite busy today! Our Aunty's husband Caesar is their 'vet' and she actually first met him at Burrolandia - they came together with their mutual love for donkeys haha.

The main yard area has random donkeys, pigs, goats, cats and dogs running around. Here are some pictures below!

 

This place is reminiscent of a Mexican junkyard, with lots of really cool old machines and wagons and memorabilia of decades past. The local Burros were cute! There was a random horse or two as well, and some kind of Mule/cross-breed mutant. 

Baby Burro! A Burrito! This little white one shown above was really cute, and had a fluffy hair-do.
The one shown below was rolling around in the dirt, having a good old time.

 
Mercedes couldn't help but pose with multiple animals, holding back her hippy urge to save them all and let them run wild. Some cute baby goats and an insanely fat mamma goat.

 

 Shown above is a deer! It was an orphan, and ended up at the Burrolandia 'zoo'. She does not behave nicely with children so she is put in with all the chickens and people are not normally allowed in there. An ultra-aggressive male goat was in there too! 

Old stuff everywhere, something we are used to from Mercedes' Nan and Pop's crazy collection of collectable curios. We got to see a magical chicken that lays magical blue(-ish) eggs!! Picture below, with a white one for comparison, and also the blue egg in amongst a bunch of other white eggs.

The day was entertaining, with Kyran finding lots of cuddly cats to pat and Merc getting a good dose of animals to play with, we left exhausted and ready for bed! The people were really nice, and it seemed the "customers" were all happy and were having a great time. The kids loved the donkey rides and having a ride on the donkey cart/wagon thing.
