a perfect refuge

                                     

I gonna share a place called Mosqueto. This is a coffeehouse with a very homy decoration and warmth environment. You can find this place located between monjitas and merced in mosqueto street, nearby bellas artes museum and “cerro santa lucia”.
You can find in this place all kind of coffees, teas and chocolate drinks. Also this shop offer all kind of cakes, cheesecakes, pies, kuchen, etc. and if you want a place to have lunch mosquito offer to you a menu with sandwichs, Salads and other foods. Also Mosqueto is a book café. This mean we can read books keep in shelves on the place while we drink our coffee.

It is a perfect place to refuge in a rainy afternoon. The last time that I was there I eat a chocolate cake and an espresso, and this can easily be my favorite order.

Why Santiago?



Santiago is a very nice place. All the cities around the world cannot says that have a beautiful mountain belt, the "cordillera de los andes", near of them. When rain on Santiago and after clouds pass and I can see a beautiful picture of the cordillera I like to live in Santiago.
But not all is a nice picture. As we know Santiago is in a valley, surrounded by mountains that produce a high concentration of air pollution, i dont like that. This is unhealthy and block a nice view.
Another thing i dont like about Santiago is the notorious spatial segregation in wich we live daily. That isnt an example of a modern city.  
Definitely we need more green areas. In my neighborhood i have a small park front of my house. i like it. But i know that it is not the reality of all the people who live in Santiago. I think that the public transportation must to be invisible and Santiago have serious problems with the planification of it.
Dear visitor, enjoy Santiago.  Is a unique city bur remember this: if you are boring of the concrete jungle and you want a touch of green visit the metropolitan park, the “cerro san cristobal”, this place have a little zoo inside it.
