In the evening we sat in a place called Cosmo Bar, a new bar in a new and special building.

The bar is dark, good music, you can sit with friends and talk.
Over summer there is a garden where you can sit outside.

Next to the garden, you will see a rope tied between two pillars on which two acrobatic sculptures go for an hour from side to side, fascinating.
