Después de un año de trabajo, este paseo fue un gustazo. Martín, el guía, conocía cada picada y nos contó historias del puerto mientras avanzábamos por cerros y locales tradicionales. Probamos chorrillana, empanadas y una copa de vino en El Pimentón. Todo estuvo bien coordinado, con tiempos cómodos y un grupo pequeño que hizo la charla más cercana.
Between business meetings, this was the perfect excuse to eat my way through Valparaíso. Our guide, Camila, knew every alley and family story, explaining why each traditional tavern served its empanadas differently. She even pointed out a tiny blue tile outside El Rincón Porteño, apparently a local landmark most visitors miss. The route felt relaxed but well timed: three lively taverns, generous tastings, and short walks between stops, with transport handled smoothly. Camila’s recommendations and wicked sense of humor made the hills feel effortless—and my lunch very ambitious.
Foi nossa primeira viagem internacional em família, e minha filha adolescente adorou. O guia Martín conhecia Valparaíso de verdade: explicou a história das caletas e dos ascensores enquanto caminhávamos pelo Cerro Alegre. Nas tabernas, provamos chorrillana, paila marina e pipeño. A vista do porto ao entardecer, com as casas coloridas até o mar, foi linda. Martín ainda mostrou um mural escondido atrás de uma esquina. Leve, saboroso e cheio de histórias.
Unser kulinarischer Rundgang durch Valparaíso war ein echtes Highlight der Nebensaison. Unser Guide Martín kannte jede Ecke und erklärte nicht nur Geschichte, sondern auch, warum die Empanadas in der Taverne El Pajarito donnerstags besonders knusprig sind. In einer kleinen Bar probierten wir Chorrillana; die Besitzerin setzte sich kurz dazu. Die Gruppe war angenehm klein und locker, mit netten Gesprächen zwischen den Stopps. Wir fühlten uns eher wie mit Freunden unterwegs.
Après une année de boulot intense, ce tour des tavernes nous a offert une vraie pause gourmande. Le rapport qualité-prix est franchement bon pour les dégustations et les explications, surtout avec Matías, qui connaît Valparaíso comme sa poche. Il nous a raconté pourquoi la chorrillana d’El Rincón Porteño se mange avec cette sauce, puis montré une vieille affiche de 1978 dans une ruelle. Une soirée conviviale, généreuse et bien organisée.
