After a week of skiing 2 new friends and I rented a car and headed for the coast. They say it is a lot like California's coast and it's true. Vina del Mar felt a bit like Monterey, Zapillar a bit like Santa Barbara, and Maitencillo a bit like nowhere else. We stayed in a bechside bungalow and enjoyed great food and wine and watched beautiful sunsets. Very relaxing and very quiet before the start of the busy season in a couple months.
