Front of Golondrinas Placita

The entrance to the Golondrinas Placita, walk through el zaguan (the covered entry) and in to the courtyard where rooms surround it in a fort-like layout. Look to your right and see the path to the rest of the Rancho de las Golondrinas. Behind you is the entertainment platform where dancers and others share their skills.

Looking south-west, away from the mountains (which are not in view), one can see the scrub-brush, piñion, and junipers.
