Owner description:
The 28th of each month is specifically devoted to San Judas Tadeo, patron saint of difficult situations. Visit the Templo de San Hipóltio downtown, at Paseo de la Reforma esq. Hidalgo (if you can get in), or just stay outside and see the people gather with their statues of San Judas. It's really something.
