The Plaza Divisoria (Golden Friendship Park) is so different from the usual sight were seeing ever since we arrived here. On weekdays its familiar to see people getting back and foot massage in the park from blind masseurs. But on Friday and Saturday nights it’s so different.

Plaza Divisoria, also called Golden Friendship Park, was built in the early 1900’s after a great fire almost burned down the whole town. It is now a park dedicated to political and cultural affairs. Every Friday and Saturday night, Divisoria’s streets are converted into a night market with stalls selling food and other dry goods.  Initially created as a fire breach, at night it becomes a bargain hunter’s paradise!
