A Garden by the Ocean

One of the most romantic places that Casco Viejo has to offer is the garden of Paseo General Esteban Huertas located at Las Bovedas in Casco Viejo dating back to 1944.  This is a lovely walkway atop las Bovedas–stone vaults that served as a Spanish dungeon during the 1700s.

During the rainy season, this place is covered with veranera flowers making it an ideal place to read, meditate, talk to your fiancée or just take a slow walk.  When I was in high school, this used to be my favorite spot to study for my bi-monthly exams.  Every time I go there, I relate the place to books and studies.

I recently went to Casco Viejo, and this was one of the first places I visited.  Since it was March, the flowers were gone and the beauty of the garden was greatly diminished.  When it starts to rain again by mid May, the flowers will grow back and Paseo General Esteban Huertas will shine again.

As you probably know by now, I had my camera in tow and took a picture of this lovely site for your enjoyment.  This is what I saw.  Here we go.

If you have been following my posts, you already know that Casco Viejo has many attractions for visitors interested in the history of this part of the world.  A garden by the ocean is just one of them.  Come and visit us, you will not regret it.  Good Day.
