I
am
giving
a
5
star
review
to
this
beautiful
Basilica
because
I
love
our
Holy
Mother
of
Guadalupe,
however
I
was
a
little
bit
angry
to
see
way
too
many
vendors
around
this
sanctuary.
I
understand
everybody
needs
to
work
but
when
you
see
guys
with
images
of
the
Holy
Mother
and
a
stuffed
donkeys
on
kind
of
photo
booths,
waiting
for
you
to
have
them
take
you
a
picture
within
the
sanctuary
land,
to
me
that
was
not
right.
It
looked
more
like
an
amusement
park.
The
Shrine
is
beautiful
and
I
have
to
say
the
Mexican
authorities
were
really
smart
when
deciding
to
install
a
moving
band
right
behind
the
main
altar
were
the
holy
Mother
Image
is.
It
allows
people
to
move
quick
out
of
the
way
so
everybody
has
the
opportunity
to
see
the
image
and
take
the
picture
they
always
wanted.
The
second
area
I
found
way
too
beautiful
was
the
original
or
old
basilica.
Sadly
we
all
know
it
is
sinking,
but
walking
inside
of
it
is
a
must.
It
was
kind
of
odd
but
I
felt
more
spirituality
while
walking
inside
that
one
than
by
the
new
modern
one.
Mexican
authorities
are
trying
their
best
to
preserve
it.
The
top
of
the
Cerro
del
Tepeyac,
visiting
this
Basilica
and
not
walking
all
the
way
up
the
hill
or
cerro
del
Tepeyac
is
a
big
mistake.
We
were
told
the
Holy
Mother
first
appeared
to
Sand
Juan
Diego
on
the
top
of
this
cerro.
There
is
a
beautiful
chapel
which
was
by
far
the
most
spiritual
space
of
the
three.
We
could
feel
that
peaceful
environment
while
people
were
praying
inside.
While
walking
down
the
hill,
use
the
left
hand
side
sidewalks
and
steps
so
you
can
see
the
amazing
statues
the
authorities
built
to
honor
the
Holy
Mother
and
the
originals.
That
is
an
incredible
piece
of
history
and
faith,
and
is
by
far
the
best
area
to
get
a
perfect
picture
of
your
journey
around
this
beautiful
holy
place.
