On Routers Visit LA CASA DEL BURRO

Pascual Rovira, a peculiar character who is the president of the Association ADEBO, that stands for Associacion in Defense of Donkeys has been able to join his love for animals and the world of literature, politics, music and even journalism together. Everything for the sake of giving donkeys the place they deserve after so many years of suffering and now no longer useful for human beings.

The first thing that you find about Pascual is his great sense of humour, mainly by talking about the celebrities that have visited the reserve. I wouldn't be able to remind them all, but relevant figures in the world of literature, like Rafael Alberti or Camilo José Cela, noble titles like the Duchess of Alba or Queen Sofia, musicians like Amparanoia or theatre companies like La Fura Dels Vaus, have make it possible to come and foster a little donkey.

All of these bring anecdotes with them and Pascual makes people laugh easily by commenting upon the trivial but funny aspects .
 
Onrouters have enjoyed this experience very much and have promised to repeat it and make it at La Cuadra, where they will bring music, stories and humanity
