It brings you back about 150 0r 200 year ago. Is an unique experience, specially if you Christian or Catholic. I highly recommended.

Interesting visit, reconstruction of a Spanish mission. I especially remember the sympathy of the people working at the reception and the gift shop.

Really interesting place, completely reconstructed. Beautiful grounds and 1700 spanish chapel. Buildings are cool inside and grounds have lots of shade. Many restrooms throughout. Large shaded picnic area. Pet friendly.

Melanie Sheats | Sep 18, 2018
