Museo del Paste
Pasty Museum
A museum dedicated to the Cornish pasty, that savory concoction of pastry filled with meat, potatoes and leeks. If you can't imagine what more could be said about a humble alternative to the sandwich, then you'll want to stop in, learn more about pastries, where they come from, how they're made, what does and does not go into one, and see the amazing Paste Wall of Fame. You'll even get to make one yourself.
Wed-Mon 10:00 - 17:00, closed TueM$30

Cerro del Lobo
Public park with steep trails and cobblestone paths leading up to a mirador featuring the best sunset views in the city. Unfortunately, the park is not well maintained and is in desperate need of a litter cleanup event.

Church from the 16th century with oil canvases from the same era inside, plus surrounding historical quarters around adjacent Plaza de la Constitucion.
