    Quick Tips:

    Best Way To Get Around:

    Walking is fine in the Centro, but buses are also good if you need to go anwhere outside Centro. If you arrive by bus, it´s a very long trip to Centro, costing 6 pesos. Take bus #710.

    Hotel

    Quote:
    This is a very basic hotel. For 110 pesos (about $11 US) you get your own bathroom and two beds. The shower is the bathroom, so you have to remove non waterproof items before showering. The rooms were clean enough, but very plain. For extra, you can have a tv. Not the best area of town.

    Restaurant

    Quote:
    Very pleasant atmosphere. Menus are available in English, but refer to the Spanish one for prices. The waiters are very nice and some speak English, although it´s a thrill to order in Spanish. They have a delicious selection of desserts, too! You can also buy postcards and magazines here.
