Beautiful Lost Place - a former mansion in the middle of the opuntia fields of the former plantation. Here the scale insects were 'harvested' to produce Crimson (E120) from them.

My guess is that the farm was abandoned when cochineal production was no longer profitable. The property is for sale (December 2024).
