Santiago
11th February 2010
Santiago is a pleasant city to spend a few days, with some leafy cobbled streets and interesting buildings. We were able to catch some street theatre, where a giant wooden puppet performed for the crowds.
.
There are vineyards to the south, easily accessable by public transport. We visited Concha y Toro as we have sampled a lot of of their Casillero de Diablo wines in Australia. We like the legend that the devil lives in the cellar. The owner started the rumour many years ago in order to stop his workers from stealing his best wines, worked too.
