What people say

"Traditionally where families would come to wash their plates and clothes adn sometimes bodies, as a lot fo houses don't have running water. Here in the centre it is not used so much for this any more but tanque's in other parts of the city are still used communly by locals. There is a lovely parque here (with grass to sit on unlike a lot fo the other aprks in the city) with street food at the weekends and one of the best granizadas (shaved ice snack) I've ever tried."

" 🇪🇸 Visitarlo es gratis! Este lugar servía como lavadero público. Aquí en la epoca colonial venía la gente a lavar ropa de manera comunal. Era la actividad perfecta para socializar! Hoy en día es una fuente de agua. 🇺🇸 Free to visit! “The Union Tank” was once a communal laundry area. In this gigantic tank, people from all over town would come to wash their clothes and socialize. "
"EN: At lunchtime, the place is full of street stands. Be curious, dare to ask what's there, and enjoy. FR : À l'heure du déjeuner, l'endroit est rempli d'étals de rue. Soyez curieux, osez demander ce qu'il y a et régalez-vous."
