Liberia, Costa Rica,
is a city in
Guanacaste,
Costa Rica
located roughly four hours from
San José
by bus. Over 35,000 people live in the
city. Though small by
North American
standards, it is quite large in
comparison to its Guanacastecan
neighbors to the southeast,
Santa Cruz,
and
Nicoya.
The city center features a
modern-style
church,
as many Costa Rican towns do, facing a
plaza
surrounded by locally-owned
shops
and
restaurants.
Liberia is also home to an
expo
that takes place in the month July,
celebrating the Annexation of
Guanacaste
on July 25, 1824.
Tourists
may find their way to Liberia en route
to such beaches as
Playa del Coco,
Playa Hermosa,
or the Papagayo peninsula, though most
will only grab a bite to eat at one of
the
American
fast food restaurants in the food mall
located at the city's main crossroads
and continue on their way. |
