Right in the middle of Iquique is this amazing pedestrian street. It's got a wooden boardwalk and is lined by these ramshackle wooden houses. In parts it looks like a film set, but seeing as some of them are falling down, it just about feels real. We took these early on a Saturday morning so the place was empty. I have to admit that turning the corner from a regular street into this really stopped me in my tracks. Good job it's pedestrian then really......
Somewhere round here we stopped for an empanada. In Santiago they tend to be small dainty things with crusts, although here they are big fried knobbly dinosaur looking beasts and are served at the same temperature as the core of the earth. I had a jaiba (crab) one then walked home sideways. Good job it's pedestrian really.......
