  • Febrero 2013. La primer foto es del "verdadero" molino, ya que hay uno "trucho". Lamentablemente en la oficina de informacion turistica, cuando uno pregunta, lo dirigen al "trucho". En el pueblo hay toda una polemica sobre esto. Fotogenicamente hablando el "trucho" es mas lindo pero, no es el "verdadero". Al margen de esto, el "Valle Hermoso" es.... hermoso!!!! Visitandolo uno entiende porque los galeses se enamoraron de este lugar. No dejen de ir a tomar el te a "Nain Maggie". Imperdible.
