Lovely photos of the Santana houses. Do not feel bad about the fakes. Honestly it is the smart thing to do. The fakes are built like the real ones. The authentic ones are still lived in and if I owned one - I wouldn't like tourists walking around and through it all the time.
I am happy that you shared the photos - I did not see the houses on my visit. I had a very relaxing trip with my then 14 months old and another on the way. Your photos reminds me of the island's beauty and make me want to revisit. Thank you.
