I couldn't fit through the doors because I was carrying my bulky backpack and plus, people were smaller back then! Notice the cardon cacti everywhere. They are all over the region and now are protected because of their fragile life cycle. This cactus grows about one or two centimeters per year and only begins to flower after 35 years! Still, people and businesses have tables, chairs, necklaces, you name it, made from their wood and spines - supposedly obtained after a cactus falls to the ground.
