Business District of Patronato (Santiago)
written by coca on October 2nd, 2008 (0 votes)

Patronato is a little, but very important location in the capital city of Chile, Santiago. In this Neighborhood coexist different cultures around the clothes business. So if you like to shop, this is the place to be.

Arabians, Koreans and Chileans give form to this particular place, where there are mixed smells, colors, languages and music. Is not unusual to see Chinese food and hot dogs in the same corner. Shops of Hindú clothes next to an Arabian food restaurants, imitations of hello Kitty and Jack (from tim burton’s movie) and the last trends in fashion at very low prices.
This business district consists of a few blocks that concentrates every day a great quantity of buyers and sellers of all kinds.

The visual impact can be exhausting, so be prepared to see apart from the stores, kiosks at the streets with articles of all kind, like clothes, purses, belts, shoes, sunglasses even little clothes for your dog! They also are great places to eat, mostly Arabian food and Chinese.

Oh and it’s very very important to wear comfortable shoes, because you will be walking for hours!!
