A Family from Missisippi at the ARMADA

A turtle family (*) from Missisippi which settled in the Marble Poll in the Lobby of the Armada is attracting everyone´s attention. At the beginning when they first came three years ago they were only two but now they are 19 of them!

They also inspire artists such as Wolinski!

The world-reknown French cartoonist George Wolinski who stayed in Armada drew a cartoon and stated how he sees the Armada Hotel! The original of the cartoon is being exhibited in the Lobby of the Armada nearby the Marble Pool in which this turtle family has been living...
