A modern basketball facility hosts the tournaments (usually in the spring) that pit different sections of the city against each other in an all-out battle for the city championship. Regional and national championship games are played here during the summer. The local basketball team is called the “Metros”.
Every Sunday in February, people masquerade as devils and dress in costumes with mirrors and bells to parade alongside Av. Las Carreras to the Monumento. The costumes are works of art. The devils carry inflated port bladders to make their way through the crowds.
