A Fun Afternoon Walk

Las Peñas

"Las Peñas," the neighborhood below the hill, is also charming - a beautiful place for a walk. Easily walked in half an hour, it can also be a 2-hour or more leisurely afternoon. We stopped by a couple of artist's studios, talked to a couple of people along the way, and discovered, at other end, a huge new busiiness complex with at least 6 sleek commercial buildings of at least 12 stories. The complex felt like a brand new ghost town, which we never figured out. Looked like some developers got carried away without a good economic analysis. This was probably our most pleasant afternoon in Guayaquil.
