A great place for a quiet walk, around the lake, stopping off to play on the exercise equipment strategically placed at various spots. But the highlight for me is the indigenous sundial, approximately one-third along on the left. Stop and take in some beautiful mosaics, read the legend which explains it all and just soak up the atmosphere.
