International Friendship Day: a complete plan with friends without leaving Rivas

2026/07/30

July 30th is International Friendship Day, and Rivas offers plenty of ways to enjoy it with your loved ones from beginning to end. The town allows you to plan a full day, from morning till night, combining local shops, gastronomy, and nature without ever leaving the city.

The morning can begin at the local markets, a classic way to start the day, followed by a leisurely breakfast at Le Canele. For lunch, enjoy a delicious set menu at Restaurante La Mirilla de Edy, and in the afternoon, treat yourself to ice cream at Heladería Jijonenca before a stroll through the Southeast Regional Park. The evening is reserved for cocktails and the lively atmosphere of El Malecón.

Celebrating friendship by supporting local businesses and restaurants is the best way to enjoy this day. A route to save and share with that group you'd make any plan with. Discover the route here .
