Hi Liz!
I just found your blog and I love it! Here’s another recent piece in the NY Times about Santiago: http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/02/06/travel/06hours-santiago.html?ref=travel
I guess the secret’s out about how much it has to offer both travelers and those of us lucky enough to live here!

In reply to Harold. Oh yes, this is a great place to retire. Good real estate to be found, blessed culture of domestic help, world class health care, temperate climate, quick trip to the US w/ no jet lag, generally lower cost of living (depends on your lifestyle in all fairness) and SAFE. So when are you coming? :)

In reply to Hilary. I have never in 10 years seen real tomatillos in La Vega. However, there's a Mexican guy from Michoacan who grows them. He also makes amazing, classic-style Mexican tortillas, food, etc. I think it's in our Eat Wine Santiago. If not, will be in the new 2.0 version coming out this week. I bought zucchini flowers here a couple times in La Vega but normally no.

Great post! I am a recent transplant to Santiago and I love to follow your blog. Quick question off the topic your blog, but still on the topic of food — Have you ever seen tomatillos in Chile? I might have been hallucinating, but I think I saw them at La Vega way back in August when I arrived, but I haven’t seen them since. Also ever seen people selling zucchini flowers? Thanks!

Hi! Great info about Santiago and its attractive neighborhoods, specially on Santiago Centro, the downtown, where you can find almost everything you want, besides of interesting places, beautiful architecture and a lot of history. Thanks for this wonderful post.

In reply to Katina M. Fair enough. Thanks for the suggestions. I will add those to Providencia. I was thinking in terms of comunas but I am in Bustamente and Italia all the time. I didn't go into the other places like Bio Bio & Parque los Reyes since I was thinking more of the foreign visitor...you get my drift. You're coming in March?
