An Amazing place, my favorite in BsAs. It is a comunity run allotment, natural reserve and ecological experiment. It is run by the students of the Univercity next door. The enourmous Uni complex was meant to have 6 buildings, howeever only two were built as the contructions were haulted by the dictatorship. It was a wastland for years until the students went to clear the rubbish and plant seeds. They run workshops on week ends, and it's a wonderful community of people.

It's the 'studio' of an infamous sculpture of BsAs. He is also a chef, and one hell of a character, more like a caricature- The epitome of the arrogant rude genius artist. He took over an abandoned part of a train station, and transformed it into his studio and a a restaurant with it's own allotment.
