Things To Do at Fortuna De Oro

Fortuna De Oro means Fortune of Gold in English.
The park has 14 smooth and shiny shuffleboard courts.  The courts are made from granite, or some kind of similar stone, and are carefully maintained.

The shuffleboard courts are daily sprinkled with wax shavings and are by far the most slippery that we have ever tried.  Karen liked them and beat Bill in a tough match.  Nobody dares walk on the mirror-like playing surfaces!

There are also eight well-maintained bocce ball courts on which to compete.  There are leagues here, of course, and groups of friends that have weekly fun competition, but the courts are normally empty and the equipment is always nearby.  By the way - bocce ball -, or lawn bowling, is a lot of fun if you have never tried it.

To be continued.......
