if you like open air markets/ fairs, you will surely enjoy the Hippie Fair that only happens on Sunday morning at Av. Alfonso Pena in front of the Municipal Park. I was there from about 10am and only left at 1pm (only because the man got bored). so, if you are going with male company, do make sure he is... More
