I am utterly in love with Valpo. It really is one of my favourite places in the world. @ Ana, I live in Bellas Artes right next to Lastarria. I'm raising a glass to it on your behalf as I write. Thanks for your comments.

@ David,
your sister-in-law is spot on. I am utterly in love with Valpo. It really is one of my favourite places in the world.

I grew up in the Barrio Lastarria, next to Bellavista and a walk distance from the center. I love my old city although I now live so so far away from it, but I truly enjoy it when I am back. Have fun! Ana Gloria Hey Natasha,

Thanks for this nice summary of my city. I grew up in the Barrio Lastarria, next to Bellavista and a walk distance from the center. I love my old city although I now live so so far away from it, but I truly enjoy it when I am back.

Have fun!

Stirred in me a not insignificant nostalgia for that end-of-the-world place. I passed it along to mi cuñada (chilena), who now lives in LA, pobrecita, y dice: "parece simpatica esa mina..deberias ver valparaiso. ahi estan los bares choros y una cosa entretenida..solo que tan sucio y hediondo..pueto puerto..el Langdon fue de aamor profundo a enfermarse d la guata.." [el Langdon] is my little brother. cheers, David Nice one, Natasha. Stirred in me a not insignificant nostalgia for that end-of-the-world place.

So close to an A++. Must try harder. To be fair I've already bigged up completos http://matadornights.com/ripped-knickers-and-other-chilean-food-you-just-have-to-try/ and blogged about bio bio http://matadortravel.com/travel-blog/chile/bingojesus/old-rope-guns-sofas-and-chewed-biros-bio-bio-santiago-has-it-all Eileen's right. It's weirdly fabulous. I've just this week discovered Cafe Literario in Parque Bustamente. Free wi-fi and comfy sofas in an airy library/cafe in the middle of the park. It deserves a place on the list too. http://www.blogopolis.cl/posts/2403-espacio-urbano-cafe-literario-del-parque-bustamante Damn it. So close to an A++. Must try harder.

If you saw the recent NY Times profile of Stgo. which argues that something interesting is happening, which surely is, but just wasn't described in the article, your's is refreshing. Good call, but a propos of the last comment...what about la feria de los sabados (or is it sunday) along the bio bio? Nice list.

Lots of off-the-track places. I wanna get my haircut there now. I loved the pool too. Yes, it was expensive...but you're right, it was worth it. If you had a place to get the best Completo I'd give you an A++ :) You did a great job with this! Lots of off-the-track places. I wanna get my haircut there now. I loved the pool too.
