El Comisariato
About
Costa Rica visitors find El Comisariato, a local business at Frente a la Biblioteca Pública, Avenida 4, C. 14, Provincia de Cartago, Cartago, Costa Rica. The address places it in the city of Cartago, in the province of the same name east of San José.
El Comisariato is known as a local commercial stop in central Cartago, positioned across from the public library on Avenida 4. First-time visitors should expect a neighbourhood business serving everyday needs, with the kind of counter service common to establishments of this type in the city centre. An average of 4.5 out of 5 from 18 reviews reflects the impression it leaves on those who use it, though the review total remains modest. Getting there from the main resorts involves a cross-country journey: Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all sit far from Cartago, while San José is the nearest of the listed places and lies a short distance to the west.
Cartago's position in the Central Valley places it on routes running east from the capital, and the address on Avenida 4 puts it in the heart of the city.
Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican speech is known for vos and the phrase pura vida, which visitors hear in daily exchanges. Costa Rican cooking uses fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, and coffee from the Central Valley is a major export. The country was part of the Spanish empire until independence in 1821, with coffee shaping its economy from the nineteenth century, and it abolished its army in 1948, leaving no standing military.
