Traveler advice
Don't miss
Nierika (Brewery & Cultural Place)
This space is amazing... it is home to local brewery La Marsellesa, and offers drawing, salsa, embroidery, textile workshops & classes during the day. On weekends there's usually live music followed by a DJ & REALLY good beer.
What to pack
What to Pack!
San Cristobal is usually sunny during the day and starts getting cold at around 6ish... during rainy season (March-June), it´s safe to have a raincoat and a pair of good boots because some streets get super floody.
