As many reviews have stated the location for the central city shopping and all the historic sites are easily within walking distance. The street itself is an immersive experience in the day-to-day life of the neighborhood. The real hidden gem we found was the nearby river walkway. Over 10 kilometers of riverside walks, bridge crossings and parks. See the paddlers of every craft imaginable training and exercising on the river while fishermen set up their elaborate equipment along the shores. Ana is a good communicator and Manuel was very helpful.
