Teenage kicks all through the night (or at least until curfew time). “La Remigio”, also known as Avenida Remigio Crespo, is where the young and restless of Cuenca go to hang out, play their car stereos too loud, and drink alco-pops outside liquor stores until the cops turn up to roust them. Then everyone drives round the block to give the police time to leave, parks back up where they were and hey presto! It’s fiesta time again. Surprisingly omitted from all guidebooks. Wonder why?
Where? All along Avenida Remigio Crespo, in the south of the city; When? Friday and Saturday nights till late;
Where to next? Home to their parents’ house.
