Basically a village that has grown up around agriculture. I forgot to mention that there are two rice mills there, too: Bisonó and another one...

It is not a cultural center, nor a manufacturing center, nor a tourist center nor an entertainment mecca....it is what it is....

One of the least known (among foreigners, that is) attractions in Navarrete is the fudge....You can get some at Bar Kenya....

FALPO = Frente Amplio de Luchas Populares.

"Broad Front for Popular Struggle"
