Drive there or ride a bike. Buses and trolleys make daily trips. Or take a guided bus tour. With so many options, take a line from Buffet: "I guess I'll have to go now."

After crossing the border, continue onto a road named Bursátil, then continue onto Paseo de Los Heroes. Take the third exit at the roundabout onto Décima y o J.
