Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Bus - You will need the correct change or contactless.
Getting a bus is very easy just head down to the main street. Come out of the apartment cross over to Veeva and head straight down that road. Check to see if a day rider will be cheaper for your journey.
