Army Surplus
About
For a local business in Costa Rica, Army Surplus operates from WWM5+XJV, C. 24, San José, San Bosco, Costa Rica. The venue sits in San José, the country's capital, and trades as a surplus store rather than a general retailer.
First-time visitors should expect a compact retail space stocked with surplus goods. Visitors give it an average of 4.4 out of 5 from 182 reviews. San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all sit within the country's transport network, so the store is reachable from the main towns and resort areas. Five photographs are attached to the listing, and the website at http://www.amarillasinternet.com/tiendaarmysurpluspaseocolon/ carries further detail.
Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, and the dish appears on menus across the country.
Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings. Costa Rica was part of the Spanish empire until independence in 1821, and coffee shaped its economy from the nineteenth century.
