The participants of the tour will use these as our hotels while in Alamos. In the evening, attend a concert performance then stroll the cobblestone streets with the Estudiantina-a local group of 12th century style Spanish Troubadours as they serenade the local residents of this magical town.   Visit Aduana, the source of Alamos' enormous wealth.
