Today was an awesome Bank Holiday Monday. After an “eventful” day yesterday we decided to take a day trip La Pequena Africa, a zoo in Spain. We’d seen it advertised in a local flower shop when picking out our wedding flowers over a year ago. We love visiting wildlife parks but we didn’t feel drawn to this one.
