La Sebastiana - once the home of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda - is worth the puff up the steep hills of colourful Valparaiso. Evoking the poet's strong attachment with the sea in its wonderful details, from the port hole windows to the nautical paraphernalia and ship drinks bar. The view out over the cluster of brightly painted corrugated houses and sea beyond, leaves you understanding why Neruda loved Valparaiso and La Sebastiana.

It is one of the "cerros", or hills of Valparaiso. Accessible on foot or by funicular, it has its own spirit.

Out of the seven cerros, it is the more artistic; home of many painters, writers and dreamers.

No specific place to recommend, a simple stroll through the Cerro Conception will remind you of Montmartre, Soho, and many other places with not only staggering beauty, but also a mind of its own.

Beautiful, and cultivated: the girl of my dreams!

City centre of Valparaiso, accessible by acensore (funicular), or on foot.
