Who lives at the Bastione? The Grinch, of course!
There’s someone watching everything that happens at Santa’s House from above... and he’s not exactly the friendly type! It’s the Grinch! Quirky, grumpy, and as green as it gets, he’s chosen the Bastione di Riva del Garda as his winter home, along with his loyal dog Max.
Curious? When he’s out (probably causing some mischief around town), it’s the perfect time to sneak in and explore his secret hideout.
