When we went to Central Park, people were dancing to live local music. It was really cute
4/5 - Good
Day
Alajuela itself was merely a jumping off spot for us, because our flights from and to NYC were late in the day. What made it special was Villa San Ignacio - lovely, restful surroundings and probably best meals of our entire trip.
