How Young Costa Ricans
Used to Meet
In series called "retretas
del Parque Central y las
del Morazán", television
channel seven - Teletica
- recalls how the Parque
Central and the Parque
Morazán was the
favourite place for
couples to meet.
The story of yesteryears
tells of how after
church on Sunday
morning, the young girls
all made up would go to
see the young boys in
front the Catedral.
The "retratas" as they
are known are very
famous at a time when
hundreds of couples met.
The tradition at the
Parque Central included
the stares and gazes
between the young, who
then could go to the
Soda Palace (now
Kentucky Fried Chicken)
across the street to
beging their courtship.
The times were even
better when the Lubín
Barahona would give a
concert in the park.
