Is Barranco worth visiting?

Solo travel

Overall I felt safe,as I walked the streets late at night and it was very fine. In generell ,I feel that men look at me often and depending on my mood I get angry by it fast or not... but there werent many that talked to me and I often just keep walking if they what more than a "hola". I loved just walked around in Barranco Seeing the streetart and going inti the free art galleries on the street down to the beach. The beach is also nice for long walks, you can walk to Miraflores,too,I love that!!! I cooked foood mostly in tze lovley hostel I was at, and I bought mostly everythig in the supermarket as I frel most comportable with it. In the market on the streets you can get fruut and vegetebles more special and cheaper also. I stay in the Hostel Passión d Corazón!I volunteered there also to pay less for staying there. I loved it! The peole there a very friendly and it is really trustful and family-like.
