A Walking Tour for the Benefit of Kasa Boix Restoration and Pamana Basic Education Project

Some treasures hide where you least expect it. Beyond the bombardment of noise and scents that possess the metropolis, who would have thought, one can find a PAGODA proudly standing among the shanty towns? Or grand old mansions, the homes of the powerful, standing like dames with all their beauty and majesty standing ready for the curious and the observant? Who would have guessed that a treasure trove of history and culture hides among the lovely balusters and windows of the many homes, the Kasa Boix, Zamora Mansion and the Padilla House being just some of them, of this district? Or that succulent sights and delights await for those with a taste for color and adventure?
