The village of Tule is absolutely wonderful-- quaint and clean with a pretty garden in the center and a nice artisan market. There is great lamb barbecue and nieves (like ice cream). The tree itself is hyped up (a local once told me it's the biggest tree in the world...) and is actually not that large. However, it is a...
