Sergio Paz
Local journalist and author of Santiago Bizarro (El Mercurio-Aguilar), an eclectic guide to the city's offbeat attractions.
BUILDING BUFF "I love the architecture of Luciano Kulczewski, our very own Gaudí. Lots of gargoyles and animals and ironwork. Don't miss his Art Nouveau houses on Alameda in downtown and on streets around Avenida Manuel Montt in Providencia."
SHOP TILL YOU DROP "The best vintage shopping is in Patronato, a small neighborhood bound by Recoleta, Loreto, Bellavista, and Santos Dumont Streets."
INNER-CITY ESCAPE "I like to visit Hansel y Gretel [Los Refugios and El Remanso; 56-2/321-6073; tea for two $10], a German tea salon in Arrayán. It's a great place for fresh air, chirping birds, and apple strudel."
