Barrio Brasil
Around this same section of the Alameda, to the north side, you will find the Brasil neighborhood, with a history and origin almost as rich as the República area. At the turn of the 20th Century, however, the wealthy residents of this neighborhood began to seek more peaceful regions towards the mountains; although the buildings and homes in this once-luxurious neighborhood went through a period of slow deterioration, the area was recently revitalized during the 1990s by artists and craftsmen who used the old homes as lofts and studios. Today, the area has a certain bohemian/yuppie flair, and has become a neighborhood of funky shops and restaurants.Nightlife
