My Recommendations

Image - Paseo de la Costa
Place
Paseo de la Costa
Paul:Looking for a nice cool spot for a warm summer day. They have a nice paseo, almost like a boardwalk along the river Limay. Everyone from the center of the city comes to enjoy a time with friends and family. Great place to see the river.
