Bazar Judith

4.5(15 reviews)

About

Found on Costa Rica, Bazar Judith sits on C. Central Alfredo Volio in San José, in the Dolorosa area of the capital. San José anchors the country's road network, so travellers coming from Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna or Monteverde can reach the capital by bus or car.

The Dolorosa location puts Bazar Judith in the middle of San José rather than in a resort town, which suits shoppers already in the city. A 4.5 out of 5 rating from 15 reviews suggests most visitors leave satisfied. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida.

Costa Rican cooking uses fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, and coffee from the Central Valley is a major export. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard breakfast, and a cup of local coffee is part of the routine.

Costa Rica has active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú, and Cerro Chirripó is its highest peak. Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings. The country's varied terrain ranges from volcanic highlands to coastal lowlands, giving travellers plenty to see beyond the capital.
