Barva
Just a walk up from downtown Heredia. What a beautiful little town! One of the oldest in Costa Rica. The patron saint of the town is Saint Bartholomew. There is a large church which was established between 1568 and 1575. Every year on August 24, the people of the town have a celebration dedicated to the saint, and the highlight of the celebration is the unique masquerade, where people go out wearing masks and hit others with pig and cow bladders. Remind me to stay away on that day!

Parada de la luz
Remember, NEVER go into town around Christmas. And, above all, never go to the Parade de la luz. I did this twice, and got robbed both times. It's a part of the traditional Christmas celebration in San Jose, and they make a big deal out of it. Not something I'd go out of my way for. This after having done it TWICE!
