One of the most traditional, if a bit crestfallen, spots in central Bogotá has to be the Pasaje Hernandez, between calles 12 and 12 and carreras 9 and 10. With little shops, all of them small businesses offering age-old goods and services like dresses and printing (as well as some Internet and cell phone credit), in Pasaje Hernandez you won't find the glitz, variety and hecticness of Unilago. But you'll have a calmer shopping experience and might go home with something you'll actually use.

The Fish Restaurant was used as the exterior shot for Bar Yamila which was supposed to be in Melilla, Spain from the famous novela La Reigna del Sur.
