a nice plaza to enjoy some solitude

by richiecdisc

If you find the main plazas like Grande or San Francisco a bit too crowded, just head south towards the statue of La Virgen de Quito. I guess since this was reputed to be a dangerous part of town no tourists come this way. Actually, there were few people of any kind in this part of town despite it being a very pretty square right next to El Calle Ronda. It was a gorgeous day and we were tempted to walk straight up to the statue even though this has a dangerous reputation as well. Who knows maybe by our next visit they have armed police all the way to the top of El Pancello!

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
