On this tour, you’ll explore plazas and avenues lined with buildings in Art Deco and eclectic styles, alongside contemporary spaces such as cafés, galleries, and bookstores. You’ll also uncover stories and anecdotes of artists, writers, and intellectuals who shaped the identity of these neighborhoods.
