KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
November brings warm days and chilly nights. The days will be mid-70s and sunny, while the nights can get down to the 50s.
Most everything in the city is walkable, however the cobble stone streets require good walking shoes. Taxis are readily available and can be arrange by your house or hotel staff. Renting a car is not necessary.
We recommend carrying pesos with you always, many places take card but you will encounter cash only places that will only accept pesos.
Use any Spanish you can muster up, the people are very friendly and willing to try to understand you.
