💡 On Sunday evenings from 7pm, there's a free traditional jarana dance session you can watch or join. Grab a marquesita from a street vendor near the entrance.
💡 Entry is 50 pesos (about £2). Visit on a weekday when there are fewer visitors. Ask at the ticket desk if any live trova sessions are happening that afternoon.
