The walk to El Morro

There is a nice scenic walk along the top of the old city walls, overlooking the sea and a neighborhood by the name of La Perla. It's similar to the favelas of Rio, in that it's an area you don't want to enter by accident, and never at night. They do have a beautiful view however. Below is a picture of San Cristobal as we are leaving.
Next, some of the old city fortifications, and beyond, La Perla.

There is actually only 1 car entrance to La Perla, and it's only 1 lane wide, so most people walk up and down. Here's a shot of the houses from above.
As you come over the top of the hill, you see El Morro in the distance. It's a popular place for families, and with today being Friday, groups of schoolkids flying kites.
I've never seen so many tricked out school buses, that's for sure!!!!
Next up, El Morro!
