Pueblo Edén  is a small picturesque village in the hills.  It's worth the drive to see the change in topography from coastal plains to hillsides full of olive plantations and vineyards. There's a great coffee shop and cafe - Casita La de Chocolate.  In August, there's an Aniversario celebration with a Gaucho Parade.
