Go with enthusiasm and open heart. - The city is wonderful in its cultural and historical aspects and the Guide managed to convey all this wealth that SDJR carries. There was no greater gift from God than to come to S.J. Del Rey, so we are grateful to Him. We recommend! Go with friends, couple and family. Mandatory Attraction for tourists.

Not for those who like history, art or religion - Running too long, we spent about 5 minutes in each church to see everything; we didn’t stop with time to do anything and we stopped seeing interesting things in the middle of the way. It was a race against time, not a tour
