| Tourist Infrastructure: You will
find a serious of pubs, restaurants, and soda fountains
in the Plazuela Ecuador, about 2/3rds of the way.
If you get to that point around meal time, you may
want to detour 1 block to the historic Hamburgo
or hold off another 30 minutes until you get to
the end of the section. There you will find the
Valparaiso Foundation headquarters and the excellent
restaurant, El Gato Tuerto, with its spectacular
terrace, eclectic fusion cuisine, and one of the
best boutique wine lists in the region. The Hotel
Puerta de Alcala, on Piramid Street just of Plazuela
Ecuador, is probably Valparaiso’s finest. |
