The Spot

Hi guys... how are u? this weekend I spent all the morning in a place that it's very special for me in Santiago, El Persa... so I would like to express myself about  all I like of this unique spot.

 I don't remember when I come for the first time, but since I was a child my mother come with me and my sister along this neverending market located in Franklin. I still maintain the tradition of going with her to buy furniture or some "cachureos" and if u have luck, find some treasure.

I feel an atraction for this place cause I can feel the beat of the city, the movement, and the manifestation of the garbage, the junk -toilets of all kind of sizes, plastic flowers, jewelry, vinils, tools and whatever u can imagine- put it like a piece of art, reminding u the cycle of the materials. The people putting all this kind of pieces in the middle of the street and screaming the slow prices it’s part part of the morning travel.

If u go to the oldest "galpones" or ex-factories, you could talk with seller with fascinating stories, real antique collectors that knows the history of eachs of it's objects.  I really hope that this popular tradition would  maintained it over time.
