Back at the main station, you’ll hop on a bus that takes you near the famous electric escalators that were built in 2011. They replaced 530 concrete steps and reduced the time for getting up the 384m (1,260ft.) immensely. Thanks to innovative changes like this, the complicated social dynamics gradually turned into a brighter panorama.

At this point, you will meet your local guide; local youth beneficiaries of the educational programs of Comuna Projet NGO. They will guide through the numerous graffiti art displayed at the comuna, you will get to know key aspects of the history and current reality of the community. Through their personal stories, you will connect deeper with the context and get inspired by their resilience and transformation process. Next, you will visit a small local brewery right at the heart of the Comuna. It is an initiative of a group of local entrepreneurs who want to make visitors stay for a while, hang out, and generate more employment for the local community. Here you will have the chance to try local brews or non-alcoholic options. This brewery is community owned and supported by Comuna Project. Finally, our bilingual guide will bring you down the electric escalators, then a 10-min bus ride and get you to San Javier subway station, where the tour ends.
