In
“ the town”, as its inhabitants continue affectionately
calling it, every time of the year has its own life: the
vertiginous winter of the ski; the withdrawn students
that arrive in May or June; the canes and hooks that arrive
per November; the long and warm days of the summer or
the crowded chocolate factories of Easter mark times and
rates in the life of the settlers, connected through their
rich history.
The tourist zone of the city is developed around the Civic
Center which main commercial arteries are Mitre and Moreno
Streets and their cross-sectional streets. On these roads,
the tourist can find a great number of chocolate´s
factories, shops of sale of weaves, several restaurants,
fast food shops, tourism agencies and a great variety
of spectacles. |

is the first constructed in the country and it was inaugurated
on March 17th, 1940. It was made with wood of cypress,
larch and stone tufa extracted from the Carbón
Hill. In the center of the square it is the Monument
