If food is your thing, visit a local bakery or deli. There are so many wonderful foods to enjoy. Be sure to try a “pastelito.” Some come filled with sweet things like guava, pineapple, or coconut, for a mid-day snack. Some may fill your belly at lunch time, like the ones filled meat, cheese or those with pizza-like ingredients. You do not even need to know lots of Spanish. Just say, “pastelito de pizza por favor!”

It is quite fun!
