The so-called nunnery and other decorative buildings, past the observatory |
A visit to a very pretty cenote

A short stop in Valledolis

The standar Spanish colonial layout. A central plaza, surrounded by church or cathedral, and the houses of the conquistadors and their families. The rest will be merchants and other prominent citizens. |
