Lonely Planet review

The museum in this center provides an overview of the Santería religion and the saints' powers, with 30-plus terracotta statues of the most important orishas (deities), including Changó, god of war and Yemayá, goddess of the sea. There are free tambores (drum-jams-cum-ceremonies) on alternate Fridays at (when you can check out the museum for free), and you can also arrange consultations with a santero (Santería high priest).

Note that there's a church dress code for the tambores (no shorts or tank tops).
