Along the way, we will also visit; an old 18th century mansion with its Arabic art, the Ocampo Theatre, the Colegio de San Nicolás , the Clavijero Palace, the traditional Sweets Market , and one of the unmissable temples , Las Rosas , where a 17th century altarpiece made of gold leaf is kept inside.
