Salmoon: Hola,

Observo que no has realizado ninguna tarea de mantenimiento sobre tu caché ni demostrado ninguna intención por solucionar el problema para reactivarlo desde que te puse la nota de aviso, y ya ha pasado el plazo dispuesto. Al no demostrar interés en mantener y reactivar este caché, no puede seguir estando publicado en geocaching.com, ya que esto impediría que no se puedan aprobar futuros cachés de otros miembros que se coloquen en las cercanías de éste. Como sabes, según las normas de geocaching.com, no se pueden esconder cachés a menos de 161 metros de otros cachés publicados en la web. Por esta razón, procedo al archivo definitivo del caché. Recuerda que no podremos sacarlo del archivo en ningún caso.

De todas formas, quiero agradecerte de nuevo tu contribución al geocaching.

Gracias por tu comprensión.

Un saludo,

Salmoon

Geocache Description:

Traditional magnetic cache south of Plaza de Castilla, in the area called Castillejos. Bring pen to sign the log. Special coin for the FTF.

One of the 6 wards of District 6 of Madrid (Tetuán) is Castillejos. When Leopoldo O’Donnell returned with his forces to Spain after the Battle of Tetouan (Morocco, 1861), he camped at a spot north of Madrid while a triumphal entry into the capital was being arranged. The camp, which acquired permanent structures as well as shops over time, became the Madrid neighborhood known as "Tetuán de las Victorias" (Tetuán of the Victories). When an administrative re-organization took place in the 1960s, some of the villages close to Madrid were joined to the city, and so Tetuán de las Victorias became a district in the bigger city of Madrid. The battle of Tetuán and the fall of the city prevented further attacks on Ceuta and Melilla by Moroccan forces. O’Donnell acquired the noble title of "First Duke of Tetuán." Some areas of Tetuán feature very old houses and are inhabited by immigrants from South America and Sub-Saharan Africa. But also some of the most relevant skyscrapers, i.e. the Picasso Tower, are located here, making it an important business area.
