    it's worthwhile visiting. the inner, middle and outer walks around the fortaleza give a good impression of the place. amazing what people were able to build so many centuries ago. what is the plan behind the layout? how many hidden rooms and passages are there to be discovered? by the way :the shop that sells nearly everything is run by a very friendly, attentive and helpful man. prices are not higher than at the weekly market

    A beautiful day. Historic Fort, great shopping and a perfect place to enjoy walking while enjoying the people you are with.
