Entirely. And in addition to the smell of urine left by many quality tourists, who are often seen urinating in alleyways, there are specific and harmful actions against heritage. Hundreds. Among them, systematic graffiti. In some places, like the convent of Santa Magdalena, there are even signs reminding of its BIC status and encouraging people to behave and not continue painting there. It is truly important that the population understands that heritage must be respected.</p>]]></description>
