In the park across from Ecce Homo chapel in Valdeviejas, just outside of Astorga.

Tree has not grown much since last saw it.

It's a red maple tree. It is not native to the area, but we're told it should do fine in that place.
It is in a city park, where the mowing and care is in the hands of others.

Coincidentally I walked past it today.
