Resumo

El Pasatiempo is a park created by D. Juan García Naveira where visitors could travel through far East without leaving the remote village of Betanzos (A Coruña). This �país de Oriente� could refer to an exotic world, luxurious, wild animals and classic figures, common in the eclectic style of the park; but it could hide another obscure meaning, �Oriente� was the name of the masonic lodges. Regardless D. Juan´s socio-religious beliefs this project pretends highlight its value, a historical heritage forgotten by the population from Betanzos. This work pleads for its rehabilitation and conservation, so the visitor can travel around the world, like people did a hundred years ago, through this great stage of cement and shells
