You can enjoy the weather even more by going on The Hill of the Cross, which is one of the most well-known walks in the city. People like to do this during the day. In Spanish, it's called Cerro de la Cruz.
This monastery dates from 1731-1736. Formerly home to Spanish Nuns and Monks. Before an earthquake destroyed most of it. The beautiful flowers around the property brighten up a dilapidated old structure.
