## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- The Labirinto is closed on Tuesdays (not Mondays and Tuesdays); older sites list outdated days and EUR 18 prices.
- It was the world's largest maze in 2015 but lost that record in 2018; it is still described as the largest bamboo labyrinth.
- Paths are concrete, not gravel.
