Additional information and Comments

We visited this community in May 2006. The walls are great. Nearly all the shops are in a strip mall outside the walls, so it didn't have much charm in that respect. Parking is in a paid lot by the strip mall. The police are very diligent and will hurry over to give you a parking ticket while you are trying to pay the machine, then pretend they don't speak English, but they do when they ask for a bribe to cancel the 35 euro parking ticket. Make sure you leave someone with your car while you go to get your parking sticker.
