Some of Santiago’s metro stations are also public spaces for art or music. The Quinta Normal station is huge, and contains mural and, on the day, a photography exhibition.
Ahem. Someone in greater Santiago’s transportation department likely got an earful for ordering these blue trains, which are full car too short for the Line 1 platforms.
I. Love. The flowers. Here.
LUPINS.
Outdoor chess anyone? Near Universidad Catolica.
I’d heard about this place ever since arriving in Santiago. It lives up to the hype.
My NOW FAVOURITE thing: Lomito con palta — slow roasted, thinly sliced pork and avodaco on a bun. With fresh strawberry juice.
The church of Los Dominicos, Las Condes, Santiago.
Los Dominicos “village” contains artisans kiosks and…animals. I did a lot of Christmas shopping here, and met…
…a parrot, and…
…TWO peacocks. They’re raised for their feathers. Next time you see Elton John or Brandon Flowers wearing feathers, they may well have come from Chile!
