Secretaría Nacional de Turismo: The sound of the harp

I was walking down Palma street when I hear typical Paraguayan music; the sounds of a harp were filling the air. I approached and met the Secretaryship of Tourism, a very attractive building where I found not only tourist information but typical dances and stuff.

Iba caminando por la calle Palma cuando escuché música típica paraguaya; los sonidos del arpa llenaban el aire. Me acerqué y encontré la Secretaría de Turismo, un edificio muy atractivo en donde no sólo hallé información turística, sino además, danzas y productos típicos.

What to buy: All kind of handcrafts... Especially ñandutí (a beautiful lacework) and embrodery.

Todo tipo de artesanías... Especialmente ñandutí y bordados.
