Parque Urquiza
After some walking along the waterfront I turned right up to a small hill where park Urquiza is. I noticed the entrance from a large basrelief called the Sower and the stairs go up next to it. The park took its name from general Justo Jose de Urquiza that was president of the argentine confederation from 1854 to 1860).
Like most of the urban parks in big cities it offers recreation and green space to the people of Rosario. It has great view over the river and I saw many locals lying in the sun for one more time (some of them have with them inflatable mattresses!! lol).
In the park there is a planetarium building, the “complejo astronomico municipal” but I guess both of them are opened during the night. I had my breakfast at café amfiteatro, a self service small café with very helpful stuff. Next to the café there is the Amfiteatro, an open-air stage with 3,000people capacity, where many concerts take place in the summer period. I walked for a while among some sculptures, a fountain and some small paths and I returned back to the center of the city…
