Today I was attacked by the owner's dog shortly after ringing the doorbell outside the museum. The dog was going completely crazy, barking, growling and snarling at me. It was like it was possessed by evil spirits, and full of rage. This is unacceptable, does the owner not know how to behave and control his dog? I complained to the tourist office who phoned the museum. But it was too late, I didn't want to return, given that the owner is too stupid to understand how to behave when you run a museum that welcomes the general public. This is the sort of behaviour I'd expect in a 'favela' in LatAm, not a supposedly civilised country like Spain. Do tourists need to walk around Plasencia armed with a gun or a knife? I had been in the town only an hour, and was already attacked by two different dogs, one belonging to the owner of this museum. Next time, you've been warned, museum owner, I'll be contacting the Police and getting you fined and arrested. You must keep your dog under control!!

Si fuera privado entendería que no abriera si no quieren, pero es público por lo que recibirán subvenciones si no quieren abrir no lo entiendo y evidentemente no lo comparto pero por favor ¡no les sigan proporcionando cualquier tipo de subvención pública...
