Costa Rica's tropical climate divides into a dry season that generally runs December to April and a wetter stretch through the rest of the year. Food on this side of Central America leans on fresh seafood and tropical fruit, so a meal at Restaurante El Viejo fits naturally into that pattern. Arriving from the mainland is done by air or by boat, and Spanish is the everyday tongue, so a handful of phrases goes a long way when ordering. Getting around is done by road between the coastal towns.
