In order to walk to the old town quarter of Quito<\/a> in Ecuador<\/a> from our hotel, we had to walk through Parque El Ejido. It is a lovely park that has a nice artisan and craft market as well as plenty of open space. Located right in the city, it can be quite busy at times as families gather to have a picnic or play a game of soccer. There is also an interesting arch located in the park, simply called Arco de El Ejido with a statue of two men battling one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love finding markets where we can buy local arts and crafts whenever we travel to places. We typically try to bring something home<\/a> with us to remember our trip, especially if it is something that we can display. While we were in Quito<\/a>, we found a local artist in the market that sold watercolor paintings and we couldn’t resist buying an original piece of art. Whether you want jewelry, clothing, or art, there are an abundance of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you aren’t interested in the market, just enjoying the shade of the trees, the open grassy areas, or even getting something sweet from a food vendor makes visiting the park worthwhile. Since we walked through the park both ways to and from our hotel in Quito, we had plenty of time to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. We have been to many wonderful parks during our travels, but this one is truly one of our favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
