The favored one was San Pablo.
It was an old-fashioned town and since the end of the 20th century it has been completely populated with buildings. San Pablo de Heredia is a unique city and district in one of the smallest cantons of Costa Rica and achieved its cantonship due to the cultivation of coffee, which allowed great economic income to the few settlers of that last century. Two or three of the famous adobe houses still exist, similar to those he painted Fausto Pacheco surrounded by flowers
and its appearance is well preserved by its owners, given the excellence of the materials used in its construction, which condition the air with respect to the climate.
