Parque San Pío is a beautiful park on the eastern side of Bucaramanga. It sits in the more upscale part of the city, near several restaurants, hotels, and shops.
The very green park has several trees, paths, and benches as well as a playground and library.
A sculpture by Colombian artist Fernando Botero (1932-2023), Mujer de Pie Desnuda (Naked Woman Standing), sits on the west end of the park. The sculpture was previously displayed in Milan, Italy, and Saint-Tropez, France.
Isola di Sardegna
One excellent restaurant near the park is Isola di Sardegna, an Italian restaurant with a lovely patio. It’s located just a few blocks to the south.
The restaurant serves several different authentic Italian specialties, including pastas, meats, and fish, as well as a few desserts. The prices are a bit high, but the portion sizes, quality of the food, and excellent service make it worth a visit.
We were served a complimentary plate of bruschetta and also had a delicious octopus and potato starter.
Marisol had a seafood fettuccine with a calamari ink sauce while I had a seafood spaghetti dish. We both loved our meals, but it was a lot of food and we could barely finish. We would definitely go back again.
