Calle La Ronda is located in the historic centre of the city of Quito. The street is popular for its ancient buildings, Andalusian-style residences and well-lit streets and beautiful floral balconies. Beginning from the late 19th-century, La Ronda became to be known as a bohemian barrio, welcoming painters, policial activists, priests and poets. For leisure, tourists can visit the nearby museums, fine restaurants, craft shops, art galleries, monuments and also enjoy street music.
