Hi Nina,

I never had a chance to check your blog until today! Thanks for your kind words.

To answer a fer questions:

Intramuros does mean inside the walls. It was also alternatively called Ciudad Murada or walled city. You can learn more about Intrmuros by reading the book “Ciudad Murada” by Jose Victor Torres (published by Vidal Publishing).

Wait…are you one of the guides?!?

Also, since my Spanish is sadly lacking, what is “Intramuros?” I mean, why is it called that?
