GETTING THERE
GOOGLE MAP
Parking
is ONLY on the street which can be VERY challenging here so perhaps you
may consider taking a bus or taxi to this event.
For my list of English-Speaking Taxi Drivers check out:
DRIVING
Take
the Pista del Sol highway and get off at the WalMart exit. Go South 4
lights to the Scotia Split and veer Right (you do NOT stop at the
light. The stop light is ONLY for people continuing up the hill!!).
Parking is in on the street (there will be guys helping you park - for a
tip or set price depending on where you are).
BUS
The
blue Santa Ana-Calle Vieja bus (do NOT take a Pista bus) starts inside
the Coca-Cola Bus Terminal and drops you off caddy-corner to it.
Regular Escazu buses go up the hill and drop off after 1 blocks after
the Scotia Split. Get off the bus & go immediately Right and
then turn Left at that corner (BEFORE Mas x Menos) and walk down one
block.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
BOOTHS
This event is JUST for
Sculptures, Painters and Jewelry
and they only have a certain amount of spaces for each category
BOOTH SPACE STILL AVAILABLE:
Booths in 2012 were 225,000-c

Any
artists seeking a cheap place to stay in Escazu - Hotel Pico Blanco
has rooms that are QUIET/PEACEFUL with INCREDIBLE views of the WHOLE
Central Valley and they're just $40/night and $65/n (+13% tax). It's an
older more rustic hotel but they have hot water and cable tv - though
note they are WAYYYY up in the mountains near the village of San Antonio
de Escazu!!! WiFi is only in the Common Areas (restaurant and bar)
and cell phones can be a bit iffy in the rooms. NOTES: They have a
steep, curvy, narrow driveway so your car must be able to maneuver it.
E- me if you want a few reliable pirata/pirate, red or
English-speaking taxi drivers or other information on where to eat in
this little village).
