Stop to think

What to do where to go in Santiago after the Bicentenario weekend
There’s a place that I like so much… It’s Bio-Bio’s “persa” There’re too many things… about what you want. Music; any cd's, vinyls, posters, equipment, old players ... Movies, originals and pirates ... Everything for your pc ... Antique furniture, assorted clothing, cheap books, video games, paintings, appliances, Arab sweets... in short, everything ... useful and useless things =)
I know this place since I was a child… I lived near “Barrio Franklin” and my dad used to take me on Sundays, I remember eating winter ice creams and he was digging through piles of books in search of treasure ... a good book and a ridiculous cost. There are several sellers who don't really know what they are selling ... They only put a price depending on how you see the book or its thickness.

The best time to go is before lunch, at about 11, before it is difficult to find shops open... you can even eat there, there are good eateries (“cocinerías”) and lots of barbecue everywhere ... “fritanga” on all corners =) it's open until 16 hrs approx.
It’s said that is an unsafe place… In general it’s not, obviosuly you have to take guards… having your things near and regulary watch it.

It is not advisable to go the end of the month, it's full of people and in general there are more thieves ... because although it has reduced the illegal trade is still one of the main places to reduce stolen species.
But I’ve always been there and never had a problem… Some products are defective, but I could change them. It is a great place to go for a walk, there’re everything. Musicians, poets, street performers and celebrities. It is very picturesque.
The easiest way to get there is by Metro (Franklin Station – Line 2) Saturdays and Sundays
