September 18 Santiago a Mil International Theater Festival. Viu Manent Secreto Carmenere wine Larisa Grbic, from The Aubrey, has become something of a wine expert since she moved to Chile. She’s been in Santiago for two years now, after almost a decade of interpreting for the International Peacekeeping Mission in Bosnia, and is one of the charming and articulate personalities at Santiago’s only true boutique hotel. Where’s the party? La Piojera (www.lapiojera.cl ), (in)famous for its terremoto earthquake drink, is one of the oldest (and sketchiest-looking) bars in Santiago. The terremoto is an ice-cream float of vino pipeño (sweet fermented wine), pineapple ice cream and Fernet liquor. The bar’s name is ascribed to former president Arturo Alessandri who was invited by working-class men to drink and exclaimed: “What is this place, a flea house?” Thus La Piojera: where fleas live. Alternatively, you can’t go wrong with Club La Feria (www.clublaferia.cl ) and famous gay club Bunker (www.bunker.cl ). Best local food? El Hoyo (www.elhoyo.cl ), near Gustave Eiffel’s Estación Central in downtown. At La Vega Central Market (www.lavega.cl ) there are many little eateries dotted between the vendors where locals go for fresh, healthy, cheap food. Outdoor activity? Biking through stately Parque Forestal and walking up San Cristóbal Hill behind The Aubrey. The views of the city and the Andes from the statue of the Virgin Mary are spectacular. Architecture? Just up the road from the ancient fountains and monuments of Santa Lucía Hill is the architecturally bold Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral (GAM) by Cristian Fernandez and Lateral Arquitectura (www.gam.cl ). A library, theatres and public spaces now incorporate and reinvent government buildings that were once part of Augusto Pinochet’s violent dictatorship. Restaurant? Restaurant Peumayén (@RestoPeumayen ) innovates locavore cuisine by plating up ancestral food — contemporary gastronomy based on the ancient foods of pre-Hispanic cultures of the Mapuche, Rapa Nui, Aymara, Ona and Atacameños. Look forward to a six-types-of-bread platter made from traditional recipes and methods. Any events we shouldn’t miss? The Santiago a Mil International Theater Festival (www.santiagoamil.cl ) is on for the first three weeks of January. The atmosphere in the city is very special during that time. Every stage in the city shows world-class theatre, dance or music, and every street, square and plaza becomes a stage for the 296 indoor and 90 public space performances. Markets worth a visit? Mercado Central (www.mercadocentral.cl ) for fish and seafood and La Vega Central Market for fruit and vegetables. Look out for unique varietals of potatoes and corn, including black corn, and try the so-called bubblegum fruit, cherimoya. Best place to buy crafts? Pueblito Los Dominicos and Fundación Artesanías de Chile (www.artesaniasdechile.cl ). Best place to find traditional dishes? Pastel De Jaiba (Chilean Blue Crab Pie) from El Mesón Nerudiano (www.elmesonner udiano.cl) and Charquicán, a dried- beef stew with squash, corn and potatoes, from Galindo (galindo.cl ). Of course, lots of types of empanadas are available in Santiago, but these are typically Latin American, not Chilean. Art gallery? Galería Isabel Aninat (www.galeriaisabelaninat.cl ) is the country’s oldest and most respected private gallery. Spa? Balthus (www.balthus.cl ). The Aubrey, www.theaubrey.com
