Can you imagine having a romantic getaway in San José on February 14th? The Art City Tour will be back this Wednesday with a Por amor a Chepe edition. The event seeks to create a spirit of unity through collective action, through mass participation in a photo session at La Plaza de la Cultura at 8:00 p.m.
The call is open to couples, friends, family, and all people who want to seal their love for the country with a kiss.
It is especially relevant in the climate of polarization of criteria that our country has experienced in the last hours and it becomes a lovely call to promote national unity. May the spirit of this date allow us to create and repair ties during the variety of dynamics of the Art City Tour,”
said Henry Bastos, director of GAM Cultural that develops the program.
A kiss for Costa Rica is part of the cultural offer from Art City Tour for the Day of Love and Friendship, where attendees have at their disposal more than 30 different activities alluding to the date.
Free of charge, you can visit museums, galleries, cultural centers, designer stores and heritage buildings in downtown San José, Barrio Amón, Barrio Otoya, Barrio Escalante, Los Yoses and La Sabana.
These are some of the activities you will find:
• The French Alliance will transport us to Paris: they can seal their love in the gates of the building by means of a ribbon with the names of the lovers. Represent the padlocks that were placed in the Pont des Arts in Paris, and then throw the key to the river Seine, symbolizing that love will last forever. Short films will be screened.
