Walls and walls.

Published on Jul, 2024

Had a great time driving through the city and stopping at the various points of the once formidable Spanish wall that now rests inside the city, as well as walking through the streets. I had gone through the same streets on my own the day before, not really knowing what to do, but the tour really helped me get my legs under me. Our guide was knowledgeable and even keeled. It was great to get a history lesson with perspective, as opposed to a lecture without one.
