By night, the historic street of La Ronda becomes one of the most atmospheric places to go out in Quito, its cobbled lane glowing with lanterns as its taverns, cafes and music bars fill with life. Locals and visitors gather to sip canelazo, the warming spiced spirit, listen to live traditional music and enjoy empanadas and other snacks in a romantic, bohemian setting. A gentler, more cultural night out than the clubs of the modern city, an evening on La Ronda captures the soul and traditions of old Quito.
