At this point the fun Callejoneada Cholulteca begins. The guide, characterized by some important character from Cholula, will welcome the group and will be your host to tell the history and legends of this Magical Town. The Convent of San Gabriel was built with the same stones that were part of the Temple to Quetzalcóatl, which was standing when the Spanish conquerors arrived in Cholula. This temple was used for the rituals of the natives. Upon the arrival of the conquerors, it was destroyed and a Catholic temple was built in the same place.
