Adobo at Plaza Cayma

Alex and I went to Plaza Cayma earlier this afternoon. Plaza Cayma is another awesome, small plaza only a few minute walk from our house, which is amazingly located between Plaza Cayma and Plaza Yanahuara. Both Cayma and Yanahuara are considered safe and affluent districts in Arequipa. Each have a beautiful plaza with their own church, restaurants, shops and feel.

Plaza Cayma is encircled by a half dozen adobo restaurants. In Arequipa, adobo is a spicy soup with pork that's cooked for hours in paprika, oregano, salt, garlic and vinegar. We met our friend and classmate, Fabricio, and had adobo at a place that was recommended to us by both Fabricio and a kind, messy stranger who approached Alex in the park. With all the places to choose from I think we found the one. Apparently this place opens at 3 am and it's a popular late night spot. We'll be getting on that soon.
