Club, headed by President
Miguel Cebrián, and the owner
who, months ago, denounced
damages due to the constant presence
of climbers. As he argued,

users for years, did not have
permission to access the rock
and caused damage to the farm,

trees are not in production.

when the property called the police
to come to the place and denounce
those who, without authorization,
crossed the terraces and
accessed the private forest. On at
