Did you know that it's possible to visit Juan Montalvo's house and Juan Leon Mera's house? Juan Leon Mera's house is only a few miles from the center of town, and is open to the public as a museum today. Originally constructed in 1874, it has a beautiful garden area, as well as modern art and more classic art. You can also see the personal mementos of Juan Leon Mera, which gives the museum a nice, personal touch. Juan Montalvo's house is a great place to explore one of Ecuador's most famous writers.

Quisapincha is another fun market here, and a great place to purchase excellent quality leather goods and affordable prices.

It's the biggest festival perhaps in all of Ecuador, lasting almost an entire month. The festival has so many wonderful things to experience at the festival. Bullfights are by far the most popular event to watch. There are also beauty pageants, with the winner becoming the center of attention for the entire festival, and a representative for an entire year. There are also firework displays, as well as a Catholic mass held on the Saturday before Lent. All in all it's a whole lot of fun.
