Road of the Friars
The Road of the Friars was built in the 16th century to connect Valladolid with the indian town of Sisal. A sketch and some descriptions of those times remain. It is a sort of alley way that connects the neighborhood of Sisal with the five streets and the main street (41 Street), that gives access to downtown Valladolid.
In this area, architectonic details of great value were rescued and renovated, giving as a result a group of houses, roads and lights that recalls the colonial past of Valladolid.
