Los Yoses and San Pedro

Suits:

Students, bars and cheap eats

In short:

University district east of the centre; lively at night, outside our four clusters.

A first visit works as a triangle: downtown (Plaza de la Cultura and the Mercado Central) in the middle, Barrio Amón and Barrio Otoya to the north for heritage hotels, and Barrio Escalante to the east for dinner. La Sabana park is a car ride west. Most sights are within 1 km of each other; the distance between clusters is 10–20 minutes by car.
