Centro Fotográfico Álvarez Bravo
Stroll 24 minutes WSW to the Centro Fotográfico Álvarez Bravo. This beautifully restored colonial building hosts changing exhibits by Mexican and international photographers. The walk takes you through the neighborhood toward the cultural center.

End your walk at Café Los Cuiles, just a four-minute walk from the photo center. Sit down for good coffee and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. The café is open daily from 08:00 to 22:00, so you have plenty of time to relax with a Café Oaxaqueña.
Local tip
The walk from El Llano to Itanoní is short, but the path to the Centro Fotográfico is longer (24 minutes). Take your time; the neighborhood is pleasant to explore on foot.
