Known as "Pueblos Magicos" these enclaves are sacred spaces where time stops and the past remains in the present. Barrio Logan, an enclave with its own legends and stories that have been passed down for generations, is yet another thread from the same fabric that stretches across and defies made-up border lines and artificial walls. The Barrio is a time capsule where traditions and stories are carried on as a means of self-preservation; it is our very own BARRIO MAGICO. Visit: https://www.allforlogan.com/about-1-2
