I was the leader for Costa Rica in the Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photowalk that happened on July 24th and I planned for this instance to visit the “Plaza de la Cultura” in San Jose. This boulevard is pretty much the heart of San Jose as it’s the one that sees the most people walking by any given day.

During the weekends and holidays there are street performers and clowns entertaining people as they walk by and daily you see a lot of people selling from cheap toys to pirated DVDs to leather belts and wallets to original audio CDs to paintings, most of which are done right there on the boulevard, and these are people that usually come from other countries to make a living out of selling these things because they can’t find other jobs.

The photo above was taken around the Melico Salazar theater and it’s the area where the most street performers gather.
