Paseo del Buen Pastor
Occupying a triangular city block, El Paseo del Buen Pastor is a modernist maze of cafes, restaurants, exhibition rooms, and art gardens. Located in a former women's prison that is now dedicated to those who suffered under the dictatorship, the complex is a bewildering display of surreal art, glass-framed walkways, and rust-colored flagstones. Stark metal pillars and driftwood installations contrast with a convent-style chapel. Green-molded seating and psychedelic cowhide restaurant menus give a futuristic nod, as does the over-the-top light-and-water show featuring a fountain display to a Freddy Mercury soundtrack. The fountain show takes place every day at 7 and 11pm. There is a small cinema, a supervised children's area, and a selection of stores and cafes.
