so may questions...<BR>I walked - took me forever, but there must be a metro stop nearby - which isn't that expensive - about 80p I think.<BR>Course you don't have to be catholic. Wasn't very crowded when I went in the height of summer. People selling maps of the graves have scraped off the official map in the cemetary, forcing you to buy one of theirs, can't really be avoided, but I htink some Lonely Planet guides have maps in them.<BR>You can definitely wear both sneakers and a tiara, though obviously barefoot would be more aesthetically pleasing.<BR>Not sure Jimi's there but Jim Morrison wwill be pleased with a visit.
