Tips from locals
Nearly every city in Costa Rica has a Catholic church as its cultural center with an adjacent central park. Go into town and park at the church. It will cost you ~800 Colones per hour (~532 Colones = $1) but the parking is secure, nearly always available unless there is a Mass, and straight forward (it can be hard to determine where you can legally park on the street and often times vagrants will expect payment from you for "parking assistance and security"). You can visit the church, park, shops, banks, Pop's ice cream shop, and walk one block to the central market. A couple of our favorite things to do at the central market is 1) have a Chinchivi, which is a traditional drink of San Ramon of flavored syrup and sugar cane carbonation. The vendor is in the Southwest corner of the market, 2) buy some chorizo (sausage) or fresh fruit from one of the vendors for tomorrow’s breakfast, 3) check out the men playing dominoes.
